Details

The keystrokes "Alt-EF" should 1: open the "Edit" menu and then 2: bring up the "Find in this Page..." dialog. Instead, it 1: opens the "Edit" menu and then 2: opens the "File" menu.
release the "alt" key before pressing F
Okay, but why is this at all important? No one has ever reported this before, because most people release the Alt key before the next letter is typed.

Probably because everybody is used to how things behave in other apps. It's a sensible request IMHO, but I don't think it's particularly important and might even be confusing.
Actually, this has been reported before :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 52007 ***
