Ah, yes the quintessential modifier key for pc's is SO unintuitive.
Viewing post in How to return the old controls in 0.9.0???
It's a bit nuts to me in a world where "Alt-tabbing" out of games and using alt for third party software has been a thing for over 20 years, people will defend the use of ALT as a modifier key for super commonly used actions as the perfect or objectively better option.
I was very used to and attached to the old controls, but the new ones aren't bad.
