New description:

 Alt is used in most browsers (Firefox, Epiphany) for back/forward
 navigation modifier and the left/right cursor keys.  That's nice because
 Ctrl modifier and left/right keys is commonly used when editing text to
 move the cursor to previous/next word.  I find frustrating the current
 behaviour, and catched me while editing a web form (like this I'm typing
 now in trac) or modifying the URL entry.

 I wonder if is there a good reason to use Ctrl.  Maybe because all other
 acceleratos use this modifier?  This change was introduced in commit
 972e93444546ff9320ab7ebfd9919696dc575887 by Sascha Silbe.

 The patch attached changes the modifier to Alt.
