My first strategy was to config the alt key mapping in Inkscape - this failed under JWM
Ref-
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... n_Linux.3F
changing the mapalt="1" value in ~/.config/inkscape/preferences.xml didn't seem to do anything

My second strategy was to change the mouse binding in JWM, only to find out this is not possible - yet, see JWM todo list
http://joewing.net/programs/jwm/todo.shtmlInternationalization support for all text (added in revision 530).
Configurable mouse bindings.
Configurable window menu.
Add window list root menu item.
Add separator tray item.

The successful solution was to:
1. switch to openbox
2. edit /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml
I changed every occurrence of 'A' (alt) to 'W' (super/win key) below <context name="Frame">
changing just <mousebind button="W-Left" action="Drag"> <action name="Move"/> didn't seem to work.
Code: Select all
<context name="Frame">
<mousebind button="W-Left" action="Press">
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Left" action="Click">
<action name="Unshade"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Left" action="Drag">
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Right" action="Press">
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
<action name="Unshade"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Right" action="Drag">
<action name="Resize"/>
</mousebind> ...

if anyone has changed inkscape's mapalt successfully this would be preferable to changing window manager's options...
