Shortcut problem with the new custom titleBarStyle

I have very valuable shortcuts assigned to Alt+D (and Alt+A and the likes). When I enable the new custom titleBarStyle, pressing Alt+D now makes the "Debug" menu active without executing the shortcut. This used to work in the native title. Interestingly, Alt+Shift+D still works.

I'm in love with the new custom title, but there's no way I can enable it with this shortcut not working.

try setting:
"window.enableMenuBarMnemonics": false

Thanks! That worked. I myself don't care about the menu's mnemonics so I'll just disable it. But the issue can be resolved in a more appropriate way.

I agree that it would be great to have the ability to re-use menubar shortcuts without disabling enableMenuBarMnemonics completely. That's how it works in the current legacy menu: redefined shortcuts execute their actions without opening the menu. But it seems that both actions happen at once with the new menu.

For example:

1. Enable "window.titleBarStyle": "custom".
2. Add { "key": "alt+f", "command": "editor.action.selectAll", "when": "textInputFocus" } to keybinding.json.
3. Press Alt+F.

What happens: the text gets selected, but the "File" menu also opens and grabs the focus to itself.

Sometimes though it works differently: I use the GitLens extension that assigns a number of very common actions to Alt+* shortcuts in its non-default "alt-based" shortcut scheme. When I press Alt+H ("Show File History"), the menu opens and closes very briefly before the extension takes over and shows its UI for this action.
