Probably you don't want to use enable-evaluation or disable-evaluation
from a keybinding. Those are for disabling the GUI so the program is
not changed while it is begin evaluated or syntax check'd.

I don't think it is because of the menus. It is something to do with
the way drscheme has set up its keymaps, probably, but I'm at a loss
for how to try to debug this (without getting a french version windows
and a french keyboard).
