By default, alt+p triggers the binding assigned to alt+` #732

Apologies if this is not the right place to post this.

When installing a new desktop, one of the first things I do is to disable many wm shortcuts, to free up more keyboard real estate for emacs. I have been able to disable some of them using the "keyboard shortcuts". I have been able to disable even more using for i in $(seq 1 10) ; do gsettings set org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings run-command-$i ''; done. I have however been unable to disable alt+p (which opens some kind of window selector) as well as windows+s (no idea what this one does).

This is Ubuntu Mate 22.04, running Marco 1.26.0.

Ok so super+s is not marco's fault, it's https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-indicator-applet/issues/28. As for alt+p, it turned out to be a customizable shortcut in the "keyboard shortcuts" menu. That binding was set to alt+` (move between windows of an application, using a popup window), but triggered by alt+p for some reason (I use an azerty keyboard, if that changes anything). So the potentially actionable thing for marco is: by default, alt+p triggers the binding assigned to alt+`. I updated the title to reflect this.
