Bug Description
Current git head defines the accel to open the settings menu as [alt-S]. This collides with the accel to increase the drill size of the via or pin under the mouse cursor. Apparently, the menu takes catches the event first. This renders holes impossible to increase via the keyboard.
The drill accel is part of a whole group of related actions. The accels [s], [shift-s], [alt-s], [shift-alt-s] all affect vias and pins. So it's better to not change these in order to resolve the collision.
Proposal: change the accel for the settings menu to [alt-t]. This combo does not seem to be used anywhere.
I attached a rather trivial patch to gpcb-menu.res.in which does just this.

The menu accel keys have been added to pcb fairly recently. Since then the accel to increase hole size is broken. I for one use this feature with almost every layout.
How come. this regression is considered "low" importance? I'd have expected a 'medium'.
