    I think the title pretty much explains it! I'm on a mac vs. 10.9.4 and I can't get the alt key to work for anything that's binded to that key! It's frustrating because I'm so used to having that key for jump! Any suggestions? Or anybody else playing with a mac come across this issue?

    Since none of the developers use Mac or make the installer for it, this might be down to an issue through that. Not many people are experienced with Mac, but I'll have a dig when I get home later.

    just rebind it... o_o
    press the \ key to open up the key binding menu, then don't bind anything to alt

    Yea, I know and I did that, but do you know how hard it is not to use alt as jump when you've been used to that for like 8 years now?

    I feel ya.. though yeah. Not much you can do. When I was using a mac I used the spacebar for jump and binded other things so that my fingers rested in the same position that they would have if I was using alt for jump. So x was pick up items instead of Z.. and I forget what attack was. But yeah. I hope you get used to it soon! :0

    Also another method I've been looking at is with Mac's. (Option key = AltGR).

    Open up your settings and go to Keyboard Settings, change the binding of the Options key to represent the normal Alt key. (As I'm not familiar with Mac's either, I wouldn't know how to get there; but I'm sure you'll be able to find it easily.)

    But after checking Navi's link, it seems that might help you more. Just giving you other options encase that doesn't work.

    Here's a couple of useful threads that might help -

    i'm on mac. what i did was move jump to space. right alt on my mac keyboard seems to be bound to the number 9 and left alt seems to be bound to the number 8. If that helps at all...ever since i just re-arranged my ingame keyboard, it hasnt been much of an issue. Unless you use mouse keys like i do
