Hello

I'm trying to use the Alt hotkey to add connections in a concept map.

I select a root node, then I hold the alt key, then click the root node to connect to. I don't get a connection. What I do get is a momentary display of the connection edit modal which then vanishes. This happens with either alt key.

I wonder if this is a bug or if I'm not using the hotkey correctly?

Thank you for any advice.

I've now found the solution to this problem.  It is a chromebook specific problem caused by Chrome OS intercepting alt and click and interpreting it as right click.

You can change this behaviour by going to chrome://flags and go to the flag for 

Use Search+Click for right click   and set it to enabled.

Alt and click will now be available to Mindmup (and many other web apps) while right click will be on Search key and click.
