Hi Raul,

Hi. I'm sure you mean jump, not run <smile>.

Actually, I think you might be running an older version of the beta. The 
last private beta had a couple of miner bugs which I fixed in the public 
beta version of beta 2 just the day of release.
One of the things is put run back on alt and jump on control because of 
it hanging the player when jumping.
Check your manual. If it does not say October 5, 2007 as the published 
date then you have an old version of the beta.

when the system menu comes up, the player gets stuck in a sort
up-in-the-air mode. I have to press alt by itself which probably closes
the menu, then he lands. While he's in this weird elevated more, nothing
can really happen, but at the same time, the game play inertia is
interrupted.

Yep, you have the older beta 2 release. That would probably be the 
October 3 release which had this stupid jump and hang bug on the alt 
key. I fixed it before the October 5 release which is current stable. 
Uninstall October 3 beta 2 and grab the one from my web site which has 
this correction.
Though, the alt key still causes problems for players when running. I'm 
likely going to simply have to change keystrokes which is the easiest 
solution.

 If you want some keyboard suggestions, assuming you don't
disable the system menu, how about using the shift for running and the
control for jumping

That would work, but I also have another idea. How about using the 
keyboard setup James North used with control for run, and the spacebar 
key for jump. That worked rather nice. The space key is a nice big 
key,and it can be used as a modifier if necessary. Using space for jump 
is not uncommon.
Which do you like better shift control combo you suggested or the space 
and control combo I suggested?

 This way, If I'm running
right, I would hold down shift-right arrow, and if I need to jump, I
just tap the control key once while still holding shift-right and I jump
while I'm running. Or, if I'm just walking with right arrow, I just
press control and I jump right.
What do you think?

It would certainly work. I wouldn't have a problem with it. My only 
hesitation is since shift and control are close together a gamer might 
accidently press control rather than shift and have the character jump 
off into a trap of some kind or well find some way to jump to his doom.
