Is there a way to disable this. I know it is a Windows feature for navigating without a mouse but who really uses PS without a mouse. If I start to do a key command and press alt then realize I want to do something else I have to hit Escape. If I don't hit escape menus start to drop down when I try to use my tools. I can not stand this navigation feature and it has been bugging me for years. If I remember correctly the Mac version of photoshop does not have this.
Yes there is, but not by Photoshop configuration. It comes in the form of a workaround app that was developed by Unsigned Code Labs on this forum. See this thread:

This is getting me one step closer. The forum you recommended is about a bug in CS5 with scrolling on the the mouse. I would like to completely disable the alt menu functionality in Photoshop. I do not use it and find it very annoy when I am doing on serious cloning work.
Is there away I can use this AutoHotKey program to disable the alt menu in PS? It seems like it can but I am not familiar with the program.
