P: Alt key shorcut, menu activating and beeping

One person's feature is another person's failure.  It really is quite hard to make something that's perfect for EVERYONE...

If you are using PS for every work, you work really fast and you are using a lot shortcuts very fast. In one moment you are using Alt + scroll and 300ms later you want set "move tool" to active. So you pressing "V" then your menu pop out and it is something you don't expect. Your flow is broken and you lost 5, 10 or more seconds. And sometimes it appears many times in one hour.

I mean really all you have to do is look if the menus are underlined.  If they are press Alt and your keyboard shortcuts go back to normal.

Please oh my god please give us the option to disable Alt menu activation. I dont have this problem in Cinema4D and I have to use Alt all day long to navigate 3D space. The constant notification sound, occasional minimization or loss of canvas focus for the feather box are all caused by this. Its totally unacceptable.

I work around it by pressing the 'Alt' key again like you said to disable it.  Hopefully there is a reasonably quick fix to make it an option (not default) to disable.  Thanks for the feedback; the US Gov't thing is good to know!

That just enables the underlines all the time so people that have trouble using the mouse knows which keys to press to select a menu.

yes

Howdy Jaroslav,

I've a feeling that we couldn't do it like the plugin you describe.  Part of the functionality is supposed to demonstrate the options available.  I put in the bug report that probably the cleanest solution would be a preferences to simply disable all accelerators.  Now, I've no idea how feasible this is (and I sorta think it'll be a freakishly large amount of work cuz that's such an integral part of the Windows standard), but we'll see.

Thanks,
David

That's Win10, right?

Hmm I found way how to hack it 😄 Just remove "&" in localization file in rows which contains main menu localization. Not tested yet, but it should works. Backup first! But this hack will be removed after PS update. 

So I recommend you write the the location of the string in PS (the part before the equal sign) for easier to find in the future. Or better somebody could write exe program which could this swich on/off. This is a different approach than the Chinese plugin.
