Removing keyboard shortcuts that interfere with Polish characters

While I was sorting out my notes for the new version of my book about Maximo, I found this SQL:

update maxmenu set accesskey = null where (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+A') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+C') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+E') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+L') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+N') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+O') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+S') or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+Z')  or (accesskey = 'CTRL+ALT+X')

This very special update command, only for admins having Polish users. 
In Poland, most of the users use so called: "Polish programmers" keyboard layout. Polish accented characters are entered by pressing ALT and letter key for example:

ALT+E = ę
ALT+C = ć

Standard Maximo keyboard shortcuts overwrite Polish characters and the users are unable to write in Polish. 
Above SQL will remove the conflicting keyboard shortcuts, but... you will loose the some functionality in Maximo. The decision is yours.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.
