Today we have first or one of the first letters as shortcut to menus.
How about considering everything typed as search inputs.
Search is then stopped by ESC, arrow keys and maybe more.

Search is only possible when a menu is selected, not with focus on the buttons.

This will break the habits of people used to the shortcut variant,
but then we have the more flexible i-search variant.

Idea?
