5 years ago Seems to be an issue for Photoshop on Windows as well, with several common hacks to work around it:

What we might have to do in Slate is provide an alternative modifier (like control or shift, or a combination) for this.
This probably has something to do with alt being a global shortcut for activating menu items on Windows. I wonder if it would work if there wasn't a (native) menu bar...
I'm curious if it works with other programs (like Photoshop) on Windows.
