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. > wrt uriel's unix shortcuts page, where do ^K and the other common ones come > in? 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.
