Whenever I press Alt-U when PDFXchange is open it enables some sort of quick menu shortcut (see screenshot) where I can hop between menus/settings by pressing specific letters. I am not sure what this feature is referred to as but I would like to disable it as I am using a combination of Alt-U as a hotkey for an autohotkey script and it is interfering with that.
How to disable Alt+U ?

Re: How to disable Alt+U ?
Hi mcdddd,
I am afraid that there is no option to turn that off for the ribbon UI, it can be for the "Classic UI", however the ALT key will still respond and put focus on the "File" menu, so the only way to really avoid this is to not use ALT in this way with your shortcuts. If you modify it to use CTRL first then ALT is available, so CTRL+ALT+U, but just ALT+U is going to remain problematic I am afraid.
