There are many reported issues with Windows ALT functionality and Kate.
Fx writing localized letters using ALT+numeric keypad
Now at places fx:

The statement is partly true, ALT UP is default menu activation in Windows (and
has been since at least Windows 98). However Kate activates Menu's and focused
menu for further keystrokes on ALT DOWN. Which means when people press ALT+G
for ] they get the Kate -> Go menu.
What would be expected is:
[LEFT ALT DOWN] [G DOWN] [G UP] [LEFT ALT UP] = ]
[LEFT ALT DOWN] [LEFT ALT UP] [G DOWN] [G UP] = Kate -> Go
What happens is:
[LEFT ALT DOWN] [G DOWN] [G UP] [LEFT ALT UP] = Kate -> Go
[LEFT ALT DOWN] [LEFT ALT UP] [G DOWN] [G UP] = Kate -> Go
Now the exact key strokes can depend on localization settings, but should
always be able to find conflicts to reproduce using ALT + numeric keycodes for
some letters available with settings, where the number key used has conflicting
Kate bindings.
