--- Comment #13 from Raphaël Jakse <raphael.kde at jakse.fr> ---
Because of this bug, Alt+N triggers the "New tab" button (in French and English
locales) when the main toolbar is displayed. This is an issue because Alt+N is
used in terminal programs, for instance in Nano to toggle line numbers.

I don't fink making it possible to disable keyboard accelerators is good
enough, they should be disabled by default, and I'm not sure it's useful to
make this configurable.

I'm usually biased toward accessibility, and keyboard accelerators are a pretty
important accessibility feature. However, in this case, removing the
accelerator seems better because it is possible to configure keyboard shortcuts
for all the actions of the main toolbar. Any keyboard accelerator is likely to
override a terminal program's shortcut, and I would guess this is why there are
none in the menu bar.

> how did this get by testing?

KDE always need testers, and this might be the indication that KDE lacks a
tester like you to spot such bugs. Testing is one of the many ways to help KDE.
