OK, slight modification then. Thanks to some clever Windows work today by Mark R, the Alt key no longer locks up the application when released. This is sufficient for us to keep the alt key as an option for v6, so we've re-enabled it. Long-click and Alt should now do the same thing with the caveat that we may be re-purposing the Alt key in v7 but we'll cross that bridge once we get there.
