[Qt-interest] Menu accelerators without the Alt key

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

I afraid really to achieve this you need to force Microsoft to change system behavior.
This is set by the option in Display properties / Effects.

You probably could change the style to ignore this settings, but it is not set by application normally.
This is user chosen setting which supposed to apply to each application running on the system.

Designer has a reason to do it - it has to simplify design of the application, which is much easier if you see everything at one glance.
Most of other applications do not.

Regards,
  Alex

Subject: [Qt-interest] Menu accelerators without the Alt key

When I preview my main window in Qt 4.5.0 Designer, I am able to select menus simply by pressing their accelerator key, without pressing or holding Alt.  But when I run my application using this same main window, I must use Alt to access the menubar accelerators.  It is important that Alt not be required.  How can I make the menubar accelerators work in my application the same way they do in the Designer preview?

The main window doesn't contain any text entry widgets or widgets with accelerators, not counting the menubar.
