Hy

Access key to open the menu (ex: alt+f for file) are missing in konsole.

Also at least every control that require a user input should be
assessible
by access key in the menus.

In konsole that means the "session/rename session" menu item and the
"option/fonts/custom" menu item.

Thanks.

This cannot be done in konsole.
The ALT+Key is needed by the clients
and can therefor not be consumed.

Here konsole differs from other application.
Note that sequences like ALT+Tab are
already consumed by the window manager
causing them not longer being available in
programs like mc where it is the command
completion. Doing as you ask would for instance
make ALT+O not work any longer in mc also.
