I'm porting an old level editor from MFC+DirectDraw to MFC+SDL, and I noticed that when the focus is on the panel that I use as my SDL window, I can't open menus with their corresponding alt+letter (eg, alt+f doesn't open the File menu).

I traced the problem to b11b349, which was done in response to #1590. However, I need the exact opposite behavior. I checked to be sure, and commenting out the three lines added by that commit does fix my issue.

That said, both use cases seem valid to me, so I was wondering if SDL could accommodate this. Perhaps with a new hint?
