    In 6.1, Cadence added a feature that allows you to access menu items using shortcuts with the alt key. To disable this so that you can get your Alt bindkeys back, you'll need the following .cdsenv variable set:

    ui      enableMenuShortcuts     boolean nil

    If you are unsure of how to setup a .cdsenv file, take a look at the documentation. Look for information about .cdsenv and setup.loc which provides a search path for where to find these files. Typically a file called .cdsenv in the directory where you start Cadence will get loaded. I think you have to set this particular variable before Cadence starts and changing it during your session using envSetVal will not work.
