Thanks Roger.
I was hoping to disable the Windows shortcut keys only while the
Inkscape window was active but not when other windows are active.
A less desirable but still useable option would be to disable
shortcut keys whenever Inkscape was running but its window was not
necessarily active.
I don't want to globally disable shortcut keys--they're really handy
which is why I use so many of them.
Thank you for your suggestion.
