Also X11 programs as The Gimp can't work with copy pasting on this way.
I can remember that a few weeks ago I've searched the internet for alt funcionality in Inkscape Mac. That's working fine now (selecting layers under need layers). Maybe I messed up the X11 settings in order to use the alt button. Is that a possibility?
If you use a modified '~/.Xmodmap' file as explained in many forum comments it is very likely that you not only redefined the Option key to Alt but also swapped Command and Control? i.e. in X11 instead of crtl+v try cmd+v if this is the case.
If CTRL and CMD have been swapped via xmodmap you need to uncheck [ ] Enable key equivalents under X11 in the X11 'Input' preferences tab, otherwise the cmd+c, cmd+v will never be received by any X11 application because the 'cmd' modifier key is first 'read' by osx for the menu bar keyboard shortcuts.
If nothing works out, attach the '~/.Xmodmap' file you are currently using, and list your 'Input' settings in the X11 preferences dialog.
I meant of course to attach the file to your next reply to the list ;-)
