Ah, that's a good alternative. > I am not sure if it is a good idea to activate the mainmenu > by Alt-key alone. Maybe Alt+Menu is better. I can't think of any application that maps the Alt-key alone to any specific function. Probably why Microsoft chose it for there standard main menu usage, and because Alt+<some_key> already works with the main menu - so Alt-key alone is just a variation of Alt+<some_key> On OSX, Apple uses Ctrl+F2 to accomplish the above. But that shortcut is often used for something else under X11 or Windows. So probably not the best idea. OS/2 also used the Alt-key alone for main menu (or action bar) focus. As for your suggestion about Alt+Menu... I've seen Windows applications use that shortcut before. I don't know if that was a global shortcut, or application specific.
