thanks

Hello Alex,
Thank you for keeping track of this.

I've also replied to the launchpad bug, pointing out why this should
be fixed (Alt+D is shown in the menu, but doesn't work), and proposing
a way this could be handled.

Working around it for myself is one thing. Given that I'm fluent in
English, just using the C locale is even easier, and may fix a couple
of similar issues.

But maybe we should escalate this to the toolchain level: issues like
this exist in various programs. Alt+D indeed should always be used for
the File menu in German (for any application with such a menu).

I'm not suggesting Alt+D should be changed for all languages, but only
for German. Otherwise, we won't have any keys left, because in one
language or another they are bound to be a common default for some
menu.

What we'd need is to:
- give translators a simple way of adjusting these keybindings for a
particular locale
- warn when such a key shortcut conflict arises (to notify translators)

Thank you,
Erich
