To do some stuff in Blender I need to use Alt key. It seems, however, that on Linux Ubuntu the left Alt can't be used for some actions(let's say, for example, Alt + RMB). However, when using right Alt key I than need to click the left Alt key, otherwise Blender goes to uneditable mode. I know that I could change Alt to something else, but I am used to it and I don't want to do so. So I rather wanna know how to prevent Blender from going into the werid mode(where I can't edit things).

This is because Ubuntu uses the alt key as a default-key. This worked for me.

Thanks! This comes as a useful information, but now I got a question - can I somehow disable it only when Blender is running? – Adrians Netlis Mar 07 '16 at 14:23

1As far as I know you can only change the shortcut globally for the system/user. – Aarree Mar 07 '16 at 14:26

I use Blender a lot, and in Ubuntu I can't use the alt button to select edge loops, because it is already bound as mentioned above. As a software-specific work-around, I saved select edge loops as a quick favourite, and that gave me the usual result, with very little extra time. I hope this helps someone!!
