Hi Bill,
I don't think this is Standard Windows behaviour.
I just tested about a dozen different Windows Apps, a mix of Microsoft
and other developers. None of them reacted to an Alt number sequence
when the cursor is in an edit field.
Since these are hotkeys, I would have thought that the Hotkey code would
just consume the hotkey combination and not pass it on to the edit
field. That is what I do with any Hotkeys I define for apps I write.
If this can't be corrected, I will code a workaround (this is for
JTMacros) and just perform a mouse-click on the WSJT-X Band Activity or
RX Frequency lists which removes the Cursor from the edit field and then
issue the Alt number hotkey. That works but is a bit of a hack.

Hi Laurie,
Tested with 1.3 and latest 1.4 rc1
The Hotkeys Alt 1-6 fail whenever the cursor is in an edit field of
the WSJT-X window. Any edit field, not just the TX1-6 fields. The
"Alt" gets consumed and the number (1 to 6) gets input into that
field. Alt 1-6 work correctly if the cursor is not in an edit field.
Other Alt Hotkeys are not affected by this behaviour and correctly
perform their functions regardless of where the cursor is positioned.
That may be standard Windows behaviour, in an input field the
Alt+number sequences are usually reserved for entering characters that
are not on the users keyboard.
I'll have a look and see if there is a way of disabling that for WSJT-X.
