Add the line:
ui enableMenuShortcuts boolean nil
into ~/.cdsenv and then restart virtuoso. With this you can then define bindkeys including the Alt modifier. That's it.

Hi Andrew,

In my case, envGetVal("ui" "enableMenuShortcuts" stringToSymbol("boolean")) returns t . Regardless I also get below warnings and I am unable to use "Alt" combination for bindkeys.

*WARNING* Bindkey uses Alt modifier and will be ignored.
*WARNING* Invalid bindkey key string: AltShift<Key>0

Please give me a suggestion.

Thank you,

Anand

Since you've double posted this (forum guidelines tell you not to do this) I'll answer it via https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-skill/38477/using-alt-for-bindkey-combination
