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?

    You won't get the popup if you've already set it to nil via a .cdsenv file.

    So what's not working? I just tried doing:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Alt<Key>B" "println(23456)")

    and then I hit Alt-B in the layout, and it printed the number in the CIW. I tried ISR15, and it worked fine.

    Andrew.
