You may have sorted this by now!!  But I this this can be done by make a change in your registry... but this may come with undesirable side effects... or you can try doing it with AutoHotkey.  I read this will do it:

Alt::Return

But to be honest I can't make this work.  Maybe Jesús Prieto or Nora Díaz will have some idea here.

Alison Field also offered this advice in here before which may help?

have you tried using a different keyboard to see if a trigger delay on your current keyboard might be the problem?

It is possible but undesirable to disable ALT shortcuts in the Windows Registry but you would possibly not be able to use ALT+TAB then.

Two suggestions depending on what is actually happening, if you have tested this behaviour with an alternative keyboard and it is still happening:

If the ALT key has been pressed and the initial letters of each function are still highlighted - press the ALT key again, then focus should return to wherever you left it in Studio. That works for me, anyway.

The solution when you find the program switching from tab to tab - use TAB plus the Windows key to switch out of the program and back into it.

This little script does the trick:

~LAlt::
~RAlt::
Send {Esc}
Return

There may be something more elegant or sophisticated, but this works in a pinch.
