And because more and more programs have dialogs in windows which use alt+key
combinations for different buttons depending on which dialog is active.

Yes, that's what I had in mind as well. But you think we should force
the user to comfirm three times instead of just once?
User: I want to change binding of Undo for Cancel to
Alt + O 'Oops...'
Computer: Hm. Are you sure. Press Alt + O for OK,
Undo for Cancel.
User: Alt + O (thinking what?)
