Pressing alt key shows electron menu and loses focus (linux)

Feedback Bug Reports
1

Hello
On Linux, when using an Electron application, pressing alt shows the application’s menu and moves focus to that menu.
My native language doesn’t use Latin characters and I often switch keyboard layouts with alt+shift and losing focus makes typing a nightmare
I understand that this is a problem with all applications built on Electron (issue - [Feature Request]: Disable alt-key menu bar focus globally as user · Issue #34211 · electron/electron · GitHub), but VS Code which is also built on Electron solved this problem with the option to disable the menu. Please also add this option, thanks

OS: Fedora Linux 37 (Workstation Edition)
Version: 0.9.6

Hi, what is the difference to Disable electron menu bar - maybe just use the linked post?

Btw: I also think, this Alt-key is annoying and rather would make a good modifier for custom keybindings.
