Hi,

Konsole menu shortcuts (Alt+key) seem to be missing in all kde 4.x versions.

What I would like to do for example is to type Alt+f to open the file menu. This does not work.

I think that's on purpose because many console programmes use shortcuts so Konsole is trying not to catch these.

Well, I never encountered any problem with kde 3, where menu shortcuts were activated. 
Maybe this behaviour can be configured in the settings menu ?

Some other users definitely did.  However, I think it depends on what programs you use.  I don't use Alt+Letter combination for anything myself.  For a while I think we tried an approach where Konsole used 'press and release Alt then press the letter' to activate menu items for a while which left Alt+<Letter> for the terminal - though that was not very successful.

An option is a sensible suggestion and I think at least gnome-terminal uses that approach, though this leaves the question of what setting to use by default and how to let people know where to find the setting to change it.

KDE 4.5.1
Konsole 2.5

Menu shortcuts missing too.
Any way to reach the menu bar would be a good thing.

+1 to have this available as an option.
