Although I advise users to switch to Firefox, I worked around the issue
by allowing "alt + click" to behave the same as "ctrl + click".
To implement it, change line 130 in program/js/common.js from:
opcode += (e.ctrlKey && CONTROL_KEY) + (e.shiftKey && SHIFT_KEY);
To:
opcode += (((e.altKey == true) ? e.altKey : e.ctrlKey) && CONTROL_KEY) +
(e.shiftKey && SHIFT_KEY);
If this doesn't cause any problems, maybe it should be added to trunk?
