The GTK HID replaces some of PCB's shortcuts with menu accelerators -
so Alt-S opens the Settings menu instead of increasing drill size.

A quick solution is to use the lesstif HID version of PCB - it doesn't
have this problem.

If you want to stay with GTK HID then you can edit your gpcb-menu.res
file to remove the menu accelerators:

Open the "Windows->Message Log" windows after starting GTK HID PCB.
It tells you where your gpcb-menu.res file lives.  For me, it reads
like this:

Note:  home directory is "/home/steve"
Loading menus from /usr/local/share/pcb/gpcb-menu.res

Become su and edit your gpcb-menu.res file. Look for a section like this:

#
# Settings menu
#
  {"Settings" m=S

Remove the accelerator thus:

#
# Settings menu
#
  {"Settings"

Save your gpcb-menu.res file and restart PCB. Done :)

PS Another GTK menu accelerator that clashes with PCB key bindings is
Alt-V.  You may want to nuke it while you're fixing Alt-S.

PPS If you're building from source you want to edit
src/gpcb-menu.res.in instead of gpcb-menu.res or else you'll lose your
changes every time you rebuild PCB.
