Not really, the Alt+key activates the menus, so you have to press ESC to remove it on return. May sound like a trivial case, but some (including me ;-) ) find this to be annoying.

I like to have direct access to the menus (Alt+F) instead of typing [F9/Alt], and then [Right/Left], and then [Enter]. I guess we all are victims of habits when it comes to key bindings, but you could use Ctrl+X for this purpose.

It may be that my keyboard handling differ from the norm since I don?t see holding down Ctrl+Alt while continue typing being a problem, but maybe it is?
