Aside from what Tomas said, you can also use ALT+SHIFT+[key] to get the
usual keys.  (I haven't tested this with other apps, but it should apply,
as long as ALT+SHIFT isn't bound separately.)  There is an item about this
in the current FAQ, by the way.

If you want to get rid of all the key-bound shortcuts in AS, use
feel.ICCCM.
