NAME

       SDL_HINT_MAC_OPTION_AS_ALT - A variable controlling whether the Option key on macOS should be remapped to
       act as the Alt key.

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       #define SDL_HINT_MAC_OPTION_AS_ALT SDL_MAC_OPTION_AS_ALT"

DESCRIPTION

       The variable can be set to the following values:

       • "none": The Option key is not remapped to Alt. (default)

       • "only_left": Only the left Option key is remapped to Alt.

       • "only_right": Only the right Option key is remapped to Alt.

       • "both": Both Option keys are remapped to Alt.

       This will prevent the triggering of key compositions that rely on the Option key, but will still send the
       Alt  modifier  for keyboard events. In the case that both Alt and Option are pressed, the Option key will
       be ignored. This is particularly useful for applications  like  terminal  emulators  and  graphical  user
       interfaces (GUIs) that rely on Alt key functionality for shortcuts or navigation. This does not apply to

       SDL_GetKeyFromScancode
        and only has an effect if IME is enabled.

       This hint can be set anytime.

AVAILABILITY

       This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
