In the past, this always worked great, and I could type Alt-F in, say, mutt, to change my From address. As of the latest uploads, I'm now reduced to the awkward Esc-F, because Alt-F brings up the file menu, no matter how much I wish it wouldn't. Pretty please fix this regression. (I assume the same annoyance would be happening on my attempts to use Alt-[1-0] in irssi, if gnome-terminal had a menu whose shortcut was a digit, but thankfully it doesn't.)
