Re: Using alt-key clicks on linux

You could try to rethink why that key is named "optionKey" or "altKey". Using the altkey with another key on the keyboard is not the same as using it with the mouse. Easy to understand. It's a simple option. As you said earlier: "... some things make more semantic sense with Alt rather than
