Comment 3 for bug 1113420

In the terminal application in specific, you can disable the menu shortcuts
it in the options (otherwise I don't know how would I edit long commands).
See:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/30224/how-to-disable-the-alt-hotkey-behavior-on-gnome-terminal

For all the other applications, though, it is not possible to free
alt-shortcuts for other uses.
