Cristian,
You have to bind your Alt key presses separately. The underline= only
underlines the letter - it does not bind to an event handler.
Here's a snippet that may give you some ideas. Disclaimer: I'm not sure
if its best practice or not.

Treat Alt+I as a shortcut keystroke for the Insert button

import Tkinter as tk

def onClick( event=None ):
if event:
print event.keysym, event.keysym_num, event.state

if event.keysym == 'i' and event.state == 131104:
pass

entry1.insert( 'end', '<Open clicked>' )

button1.pack( **style )
# bind shortcut keystrokes at the outermost container
root.bind( '<Key>', onClick )
root.mainloop()
