Instead, just list Ctrl+Alt+click as a second alternative shortcut, as is done, for example, for "zoom in" which lists both middle click and Ctrl+right click in the same line as alternatives. We can also add a comment in such cases pointing out that if Ctrl+Alt+click may work in some Linux systems where Alt+click does not.
This is done. Also, I added a blurb in the basic tutorial that if Alt-click doesn't work for the user, that they should fix their window manager to use Meta- instead of Alt- if possible. I suspect that is the root source of the confusion here, so that's probably where the fix is really needed. Can someone update the tutorials? The make-svg script just produces a "Exception in thread main" error for me.
