This is what I get in xev when first pressing Alt/Option-Ctrl, then
clicking the left mouse button and releasing the keys again:
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x600001,
root 0x1fd, subw 0x0, time 1408704823, (80,144), root:(80,166),
state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_switch), same_screen
YES,
Ah, so your Alt key is actually set up as Mode_switch. Now that I
think of it, so is mine. If you really want it to act as Alt under
X11, you need to run
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Alt_L'
But then, of course, you lose the ability to type many characters that
require this key. It's a trade-off.
but if you have a keyboard with 2 alt keys, the right one will still
be mode_switch, so you can have your cake and eat it too...
