Since it's for games, the default Alt key behavior is undesirable for me. It makes my test application hang and make error noises since it doesn't have a menubar. I checked whether my window had a flag that enabled the menubar or not, but couldn't find it.

The test of behaviour I tell is an input field, allowing to type letters of European languages like ü, ä, ą and so on. I’m quite disappointed when I can’t input something like „Łabądź” as a player name, but able to edit in memory or in save file.

Also I prefer to have Alt-F4 as an emergency exit
