I tried to assign Alt+D or Alt+L to the Lens Distortion filter and in both cases the short cut assignment failed.

Hi Jeff.

Maybe, because Alt_L is the call to the Layer menu in the drawing window? I found that none of the underlined letters in the menu bar can be assigned (Alt_F, Alt_E, etc, but they would be different for each language).

I would like to suggest that the gimp developers consider displaying these menu shortcuts in the Keyboard Shortcuts dislog and making them reassignable for those of use who don't otherwise use them.

You can already turn mnemonics off if you don't like them. From the gimprc manual page:

(menu-mnemonics yes)

When enabled, GIMP will show mnemonics in menus. Possible val? ues are yes and no.

Thanks for the tip! That's just what I was looking for. The only remaining problem I see is that the Alt-S shortcut is still being grabbed by the Keyboard Shortcuts menu itself to toggle the "Save keyboard shortcuts on exit" toggle. Should shortcuts like these be included under the menu-mnemonics property in the future, or is there possibly another property that would address these other shortcuts that are not strictly menu accelerators?

I don't think we will support the option to disable mnemonics much longer. Mnemonics are standard user interface elements on a modern desktop and it doesn't make sense to add extra code to disable them.

But the code is already in place, and works fine. Some people do use it, as they do conflict with shortcut assignement, whcih makes for a faster work flow than mnemonics. I see nor eason to remove this feature - even if it is a feature that sounds strange and not needed for most people, from the codebase.

It is not going to be removed as long as it doesn't conflict with other code changes. But we are certainly not going to enhance support for this (as requested in the mail I replied to). In particular not since such support would have to be added at the GTK+ level, not in GIMP.
