Re: [Inkscape-devel] Alt-mouse

Well, it's been the normal method to use Alt for more than a decade; that's as official as it's likely to get.

For the record, just because it's been the status quo for so long, that doesn't mean it's the best solution regardless of how "official" it may be.

All that's needed is for the keyboard definition file to allow the assignment of meta instead of alt to the mouse actions. It makes far more sense to allow users to change Inkscape than to require them to change their desktop from the standard layout.

Since that's "all that's needed", please feel free to submit a patch. We'd gladly accept such a patch.
