My laptop has Alt only on the left side. It's also very unintuitive... Backspace is the back button in the file explorer, in the media player, etc...

My point was though that something that doesn't work for you might work well for someone else.

Edit: No, I can't do that with one hand.

On a second thought, I didn't mean to attack your personal preference. I just dislike the invisibility of the new binding. Perhaps a info bubble or something would fix that.
