When user activated LIne -> Parallel (LP), there's two input fields - __D__istance and __N__umber. Keyboard shortcut Alt-N activated Number input field very well, but shortcut Alt-D activate menu __D__raw instead. So user forced to point Distance input field by mouse.

That' because conflicting letter D.

Make a letter as shortcut (Dist__a__nce) will remove problem b'coz no menu or option assigned to Alt-A combination

Note that you can simply start typing a number for the first input field of a tool. E.g.:
LP (to start line parallel tool)
3.5 (to set the distance to 3.5)
