[Pcb-bugs] [Bug 1496603] [NEW] the accel key for the settingss menu clashes with the accel to increase drill size

[KaiMartin <14...@bu...>]

Public bug reported:

Current git head defines the accel to open the settings menu as [alt-S].
This collides with the accel to increase the drill size of the via or
pin under the mouse cursor. Apparently, the menu takes catches the event
first. This renders holes impossible to increase via the keyboard.

The drill accel is part of a whole group of related actions. The accels
[s], [shift-s], [alt-s], [shift-alt-s] all affect vias and pins. So it's
better to not change these in order to resolve the collision.

Proposal: change the accel for the settings menu to [alt-t]. This combo
does not seem to be used anywhere.

I attached a rather trivial patch to gpcb-menu.res.in which does just
this.
