The priority of Alt + letter shortcuts is lower than that of the menu bar

The priority of Alt + letter shortcuts is lower than that of the menu bar.

Currently, custom shortcuts have lower priority than the menu bar, causing related shortcuts to fail:
For example, setting Alt+W to is ineffective because Alt+W is already occupied by the menu bar’s option.
As shown in the image, the menu bar’s shortcuts occupy as many as 11 letters.

Could this be improved so that user-defined shortcut keys take precedence over the system menu bar shortcuts?

Thank you, developers!

This is how to fix this.

A way to disable/override Windows default Alt menu command please

There’s a very easy way to free up the Alt key if you don’t mind disabling the shortcuts on the menu entries altogether. These entries are automatically transformed into alt shortcuts when their text contains “&”. “&File” for example creates the Alt + F shortcut. So by changing the text you kill the shortcuts. Run it in the scripter to test: from krita import * qwin = Krita.instance().activeWindow().qwindow() # Disable top menu shortcuts by removing "&" from their texts actions = qwin.menuWi…

Here is it as a plugin Extract to pykrita folder
