OK -- now Ctrl+Alt+M does not have all the qualities of either a strict accelerator:

1. it is an alphanumeric key combined with a meta key that selects a visible widget
2. BUT it is not an underlined letter
3. and it is not subject to translation

It also does not have the qualities of a strict shortcut since it does not start an action from any menu -- instead it starts the menu itself.

So what do you want? It is clear in the other bug that accelerators even for the top menu entries cannot be provided in Konsole as Alt+key combinations are quite likely to be used in terminal applications. 

If you ask for shortcuts -- for example to open a new shell etc, it might be useful. There are already some such items -- Shift+Ins for the Paste action for example. 

You can draw out a nice useful shortcut list for various Konsole actions and ask for it to be implemented. But if you ask for accelerators, you will likely not get it for reasons already stated in that bug.

I hope this is clear.
