I'm a gnome 3 user, and the FIRST thing I have to do is reassign the Alt key in the tweak tool to be Super. It's a key that a window manager should not touch. imho window managers should always use the Super key for all wm actions.
The only exceptions might be alt-tab and alt-shift-tab since those are cross-platform compatibility keys.
Until we (those interested in doing so) can convince gnome, kde, etc to use super as the default, it's going to be an issue. It's not just an Inkscape issue either.

Hi, Im testing the alt+spacebar shortcut to rotate mode and give problems on Gnome 3 (is like window title right click)
What about to change enter to rotation mode shortcut to CTRL+RMB or CTRL+SPACEBAR?
I would avoid it. Anyone working seriously with Inkscape has to "release" ALT key shortcuts and dedicate that modifier to graphic
Not true. I am working seriously with Inkscape and still have ALT be assigned to the window manager to move windows. Just saying, generalized statements like that are most often wrong or at least misleading.
Well, I agree to some degree. Didn't want to induce literal interpretation of my words. We could discuss what seriously and professionally mean in the first place, but that is just terminology. I earn for living using Inkscape and yet I don't use its cutting/engraving capabilities, for example. Just wanted to illustrate that you are right to some extent.
But, if you keep ALT + LMB assigned to their defaults in Gnome 3, you will loose some quite useful functions either way (moving selected objects without picking them directly with cursor, drawing over objects to select them, node sculpting etc.). Without those I can't work so efficiently. ALT had to be reassigned to META in my case.

applications, no matter if working in KDE, Gnome or whatnot. Krita, GIMP and Scribus need that key too.
