By default the ALT key shows the current application menu.

I know that in general to remap shortcut keys you go to SystemSettings->Keyboard->shortcuts but I can't find one for the menu bar reveal.

If I hold down the super key, I get a list of current keyboard shortcuts. Under "HUD and Menu Bar" it says: 'Alt (hold) Reveal the application menu'. This is the behaviour I wish to change.

  • How do you want its behavior to change? What do you want to do with it?

  • There is a feature in inkscape to allow selecting under the current object, which uses the alt key in combination with left mouse click. So actually I needed to remap the 'alt+left click' to allow the combination to pass to inkscape. CCSM let me modify that behaviour.
