An update: the mnemonics do seem to work, even with that code enabled.
Does anyone know why AbiWord is handling this keyboard stuff at such a
low-level? Is there any reason we shouldn't just rip out the platform

deal with key presses only when the document widget is focused? This seems
much saner.
