Hi,
I have an object inside another one. When I click the inner object I
always select the outer object? What can I do to select the inner object
when I click on it?

It's definitely Alt-click on the (old, Gnome 2) Ubuntu box I've got here.
Alt-drag has been used for as many years as I can remember in the Linux
world for dragging windows, which can cause it to clash with Inkscape's use
of Alt. My usual advice is to disable it in your window manager's
keybindings (which will generally disable it for all applications), or hold
down the Super (Windows) key first, then hold Alt, then click or drag (so
it becomes Super-Alt-click). On most window managers the latter approach is
sufficient for it to not interpret it as an Alt-click for moving the window.
FWIW, the Alt-drag feature of Linux can be a godsend when you're forced
into a low-resolution screen for some reason and have to deal with
dialogues that are too big to fit.

It's Ctrl-click, although Alt doesn't do anything but move the window in
Xorg, I wonder if that's by design.

'Ctrl' or 'Alt' - depends on the structure of the object(s) to be
selected (each of them enables a different type of selection).
- 'Ctrl+click' selects object within group
- 'Alt+click' selects under

I had a text inside a box. You gave
the key: the text actually was
*under* the box. Since the box was using a transparent fill, it seemed
it was above the box.

My usual advice is to disable it in your window manager's

(which will generally disable it for all applications)
*gasp* This is the single most useful feature I've ever had the misfortune
of losing by going to mac or windows. How dare you, sir!
w.r.t. the topic: Isn't there a way to modify the keyboard bindings in
Inkscape...?

Way to quote me out of context! I went on to offer an alternative of
holding the Super key with Alt (which is the method I use) and also to say
"FWIW, the Alt-drag feature of Linux can be a godsend...".

The FAQ that suv linked to mentions that.

Hi Javi,
What I've always done is to start in outside of both objects, in the
upper right of the inner object, then drag until the rubberband
surrounds the inside object, but not the outside one. It sounds like a
PITA, but you get used to it.

On the subject of rubber band approaches to the poblem: if you hold SHIFT
while dragging a rubber band around just the inside object you can even
have your rubber band starting on the outer object. Holding SHIFT stops the
"click and drag" of the rubber band movement from being interpreted as a
"select and move" operation. You can release the SHIFT key as soon as
you've started dragging, if you want - it only has an effect on the initial
click.
