Alas, there seems to be an intractable Qt problem, explained in #1344 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1344>. Alt-keys generate *only* shortcut-override events, and Qt generates *duplicate* events. Handling them duplicates almost all key presses. Googling this problem indicates that no easy solution is likely. The shortcut-override events come from child widgets, and focus issues are involved. I could try ignoring duplicate events, but adding state/history to already very complex event filters is asking for trouble. In short, I know of no reasonable way forward. Edward P.S. There is no problem with making bindings to Alt keys. The dummy bindings in leoSettings.leo are never used. The problem is capturing the incoming key events.
