When trying this out it started to work as envisioned.
But somehw I manage to get stuck in the menus and cannot navigate to
the buttons.

Consider to remove the old short-cut for the menus.
(Most/all the first_alph thingy in menubox.c)
That will avoid two confliting navigations principles and likely
make the code simpler to read.

I am not sure, but maybe you can get rid of all the hotkey
support in print_item with this change too.
