vi, shell and other original unix programs don't use Alt. In dmenu
A-h, A-l, A-j, A-k and others can be changed to readline-like ^b, ^f,
^n and ^p. A-p can be changed to S-Insert or ^y, it is more common.

Don't know, probably ^K are common now but were not used in UNIX? ^P
and ^N are common now too, but i think they were popularized by EMACS,
readline and other GNU projects.
