I think some users will be upset either way.  Unfortunately there isn't a way I know of to detect whether the current shell program uses Alt+Letter shortcuts or not.  I think the best I can do here is to provide an option to disable the Alt+Letter shortcuts.

Not sure I agree about it being particularly 'dangerous' but I can see it being annoying either way.  I'll probably set the default to menu accessors enabled for the benefit of newer terminal users who are probably more likely to be confused by non-working accessors.
