Unfortunately that accelerator is actually hard coded. You'd need to
edit source to change it.  When we make the jump to eggmenu after
1.2.0 is released that might become editable but its still fairly
ugly to force people to change it.

Are there other mechanisms that could be used to enable/disable the
input method ?  In edit line's context menu there are input method
selectors.  Would it be sufficient for us to add that to the sheet
context menu ?
