Post From: 2852 - Behaviour changes re Keyboard Shortucts and Windows Sounds

Regarding the Windows sounds, this is what I've experienced since updating to version 2852 (from 2813):

All of my keyboard shortcut mapping that involved Alt + something (e.g. Alt + 3, or Alt + J) give a windows error sound now. Never had an issue with 2813 or other versions in the past 12 years of running Sierra.

It appears to be specifically the 'Alt' function that is trying to select a menu item - Tools, Global Settings, Window, etc. When the Alt + "x" combination isn't one of the menu list items it produces a Window's error sound, although it will still execute the hotkey, (like selecting a drawing tool it is configured to).

I've had to remap all of my keyboard combinations with adding 'CTRL' to the combination (e.g. CTRL+ALT+"x") so the system doesn't try to open one of the menu items. This has solved the issue for me.

The "Alt + Shift + M" from post #1 aligns with my experience. Just different functions attached to it.
