Yes, and the first time I saw it was in Win95.  Which IMO makes it a standard.

The user typing alt-f indeed noted the problem when that shortcut does not 
exist.  But the same problem exists with alt-o not being available because 
there is no 'Ok' button, for example.

The real shortcut here is;

[alt] (release it) [enter].

Which IIRC works on all systems.

I share Andras' concerns wrt reserving yet another key for some users.  We 
don't have that many keys to give out.
