I'm confused by your response: I'm not asking about application development, I'm asking
about how to work with or disable gtk's handling of those mnemonics after the fact. It
appeared that setting "gtk-enable-mnemonics=0" may have worked for all gtk-2
applications (per the ticket I linked),
Mnemonics are created, AFAIK, in the code when the menu items are
constructed. There are various ways this can be done, but I suspect it
cannot be undone if you all you have is a ready to run application.
In GTK2, the simplest way to do this was to put an underscore in front of
the desired letter
I didn't write the app. I want to be able to disable the mnemonics globally,
and there doesn't appear to be a way to do that in gtk-3.

Don't create mnemonics when creating menu items. That's all. Our app
(Ardour) is GTK (2) but we never define any menu mnemonics, and
consequently there are no Alt-* bindings created by GTK (we need all
available bindings for the app's own control and management.

Is there any way to prevent gtk from taking over "alt-*" handling (e.g. alt-f
for _File menu, alt-e for _Edit menu) from the application? I can see that some users use
that, but others (like me) prefer to rebind alt to other functionality (e.g. find in
Firefox).
Looking into this launchpad
