Hmm, naw. I don't want to. It's like binding a certain action to ctrl+alt+backspace and telling the user to change the xserver's bindings :-)
It's up to you what to use, of course, but I don't think we must make our editing interface less rich or less convenient in order to accommodate a convetion used on only one of the three platforms that we support. All we can do is use Alt+mouse for as non-essential actions as possible, and this we are trying to do.
Of course I see the problem with an app for several platforms. And as far as I can see, for me ctrl + alt + click and ctrl + alt + shift + click seem to be sufficient.
I didn't mean you to change anything.
By the way, in the original mail it was you who referred to Corel using Alt+click. How did you imagine us implementing it without disabling it in the window manager? This is simply not possible.
I did not mean to use that special combination (I wrote "or similar" because I even didn't remember the exact combination, didn't use Corel since a long time) or any special one. As I wasn't aware that Inkscape already has that feature, I simply wanted to give an example that there is one application that I know of, which uses it. I simply didn't put a lot of thinking behind it.
Hope I could clarify that :-)
And how about the quick locking/unlocking of objects, do you see a chance for that?
