How can I disable the display of toolstrip access keys by pressing the "Shift+Alt" key combination?

21 views (last 30 days)
I'm used to changing the language by pressing the key combination "Shift + Alt" (first Shift, then Alt, then both release). However, in R2025a (unlike R2023b, which was used for a long time before), pressing such a key combination causes toolstrip access keys to appear.
It's very annoying. Moreover, interestingly, "Alt + Shift" does not cause this behavior.
I've tried the method described in these posts:
>> com.mathworks.desktop.mnemonics.MnemonicsManagers.get.disable
However, this solution probably doesn't work anymore due to the editor updates.

This is a challenge for me as well. I am used to keyboard shortcut of Alt+K to move cursor to next word (and other things like that), but in 2025a this does not work because pressing Alt forces the user to interact with the mnematic popup. Would love a fix.

I've found a crutch to fix this MATLAB behavior.
One should open search window (Ctrl + F) and then MATLAB will not show toolstrip tips when Alt-key pressed
