Hi,

I see that some plugins (e.g. SublimeClang) use Alt+… bindings, e.g. Alt+d or Alt+p. The problem that in Unity (and I almost sure in GNOME) the key is handled by window manager first. It means that if I press Alt+p in Sublime window then “Project” menu will be selected.

Is there any way to tell Unity that I do not want that Alt+ activated menu? Instead I want that Sublime processed this key. Are there any other alternatives? If the only way is remapping keys then what is the standard practice for Alt+ keys? e.g. what Alt+p should become in Linux?

Ok, I think I found that magical combination.

To disable menu mnemonics for Sublime on ubuntu 12.04 with Unity open $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 , add “gtk-enable-mnemonics = 0” there and restart Sublime. After that ALT+F will not activate menu. I seems Sublime uses GTK2 (and the rest of Ubuntu uses GTK3).

I wonder if such option could be made application-specific (i.e. Sublime-specific). I see that GTK has such setting developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/Gtk … -mnemonics (and there is another interesting option ‘gtk-enable-accels’) I wonder if it possible to set it per-app (and make gtk-enable-mnemonics ‘false’ in Linux)? Sublime developers what do you think?

Hi anatolik, did you make any further progress with this? I’m having the same issue and would be good to be able to disable the unity alt+ bindings for sublime text only.

I had the same issue and i had to disable the alt key in ccsm:

“Ubuntu Unity Plugin”->“Key to show the menu bar while pressed”-> “Change to Disabled”
