It's in SVN so you might me able to use it. There is documentation on the Wiki but in essence if you know which modifier flags are being set by your keyboard you can tell Inkscape to treat the one you want as the Alt key. If you have xkeycaps then that information is listed with the keys. Once you know what you want to set it to the option is set (by hand) in the preference file under:
<Group="options">
<group id="mapalt" vlaue="x">
where x is the value you want and can range from 1 to 5
Sorry I can't find it on the wiki. Would you mind pointing the page please? I don't have xkeycaps but $ xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x40), Shift_R (0x44) lock Caps_Lock (0x41) control Control_L (0x43), Control_R (0x46) mod1 Mode_switch (0x42), Mode_switch (0x45) mod2 Meta_L (0x3f), Meta_R (0x47) mod3 mod4 mod5
So apparently I should remap mod number 1 to Alt:
<group id="options"> <group id="mapalt" value="1">
However this is what was already in my preferences.xml and Alt still has no effect. Any idea why?
Thanks for your help.
