There are tons of questions related to disabling default behavior of Alt+<some key> in Ubuntu. My problem, however, is a little different. Whenever the Alt key is pressed, it triggers the menu bar selection (with the action letter underlined). While this is great in general, in Inkscape it leads to a lot of problems.

Please note that my question is not related to HUD or Unity bar. It's a global behavior no matter which application I'm running. How can I disable the action related to pressing Alt key only in Inkscape only (best case) or if that isn't possible, everywhere?

Run command ccsm in terminal (If you don't have that installed, it will show). Go to Desktop → Ubuntu Unity Plugin and change the "Key to show the menu bar while pressed".
