I am using ST4 and I need to disable “Alt” to show menu. This is due to me using a Tilling wm (i3wm) and using “Alt” as a modifier. ST4 is messing everything since everytime I switch workspaces, the menu shows up. Annoying!
How to disable "Alt" to show menu?

That alt thing sounds like a operating system thing to me. That is, not related to ST.

Really? Alt to show menu definitely sounds like a ST thing to me. If you press alt on ST4, does it not show the menu? (the top bar)
EDIT: Also, “alt” also shows the menu bar in Firefox, though not the same way. When I am on a workspace and press “alt+[number]” (which is my config to change workspaces) to go to firefox, the menu bar does not show on firefox. However, If I am on workspace and do "alt+[number] to go to ST4, the menu bar does show on ST4, which is annoying.

Can you please see the edit? There is definitely something on ST4. Perhaps it’s a sensitivity feature or whatever?

Can you check with xev whether it is getting the alt+[number] events or whether it only sees the alt events?

Hey. Sorry but I can’t quite figure out what’s important and what isn’t. Hopefully you can do it:
