Alt bindkey modifer problems in layout session

Alt bindkey modifer problems in layout session:

I have  the environment variable set to use the Alt key and the hiBindKeyModifiers show I have the key as a modifier.

 envSetVal( "ui" "enableMenuShortcuts" 'boolean nil)

hiBindKeyModifiers()

("Shift" "Ctrl" "Alt" "Meta")

 Is there any other system settings or environment variables to from using the Alt bindkey?

    If you call  envSetVal( "ui" "enableMenuShortcuts" 'boolean nil) you get a popup as the attached picture shows. What this is telling you is that you need to actually set it via a .cdsenv file not using SKILL.

    Did you try that? Which version are you using? (type getVersion(t) in the CIW).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
