[kde-linux] How do you disable Access Keys in Konqueror? PS

Hullo Bruce, thank you for your help

Unfortunately, though, when I'm typing quickly, the Access Keys are activated 
and before I can hit Esc, as Anne suggested, I've already moved onto the next 
key and consequently, the next page!  It's a pain in the neck for touch-
typists who are faster than they are accurate, like me.  Often times I tap 
Ctrl, coordinate my fingers improperly, or go for a shortcut and suddenly 
change my mind activating the dreaded Access Keys.

Therefore, the real workaround is slow down typing until my accuracy improves 
enough that I never activate them unintentionally.  But I'll sooner go back to 
pen-and-paper than crawl along at 20 WPM.  I think using a Microsoft keyboard 
makes matters worse.

It looks like they've moved things around since Konqueror 3.5 because in 4.2 
the only settings are now under Settings -> Configure Konqueror (they have 
others, which I've checked, but none with that elusive box).  I've also taken 
a peek through SystemSettings and its Accessibility module also to no help.

It's strange because the complaints and petitions against Access Keys ceased 
around the time 4.0 came out - at least according to Google.  So it would seem 
that those people found that checkbox.

With thanks,
