So the first round is to do a survey of the code and figure out the smart way to replace instances of "is the user dragging while holding down the ALT key?" with "is the user doing a tertiary drag" or "is the user doing a smart-draw drag" instead. I also would want to get away from a single "the magic key" for everything, and allow for context-specific use.
I agree in principle, but no "tertiary" and "smart" drags please. They would confuse the hell out of both users and developers. Please go on with your change, but please keep the old names for things. They are learned in a lot of brains and documented in a lot of texts. Let Alt+click remain Alt+click, which is the name world knows it under, even if you will allow some other levers or appendages to emulate it.
