Is it possible to use Alt key for shortcut ?
Everything is on the title. I'm using Windows key as $mod, and I want to use Alt key for some shortcuts but it's doesn't work.
Is it normal ? Is there a workaround ?

1) To use it as a modifier:
bindsym Mod1+semicolon exec i3-input -P "i3-msg"
2) To use it as a key instead of a modifier:
Use the command bindcode instead of bindsym.
In a terminal execute the command xev and press the key you want to use. You should be able to spot the keycode of the pressed key.
Then bind the found keycode X like this:
bindcode X exec dmenu_run
