SynEdit just looks at what it gets from the LCL, and what it is 
configured to do.

If you use a windows manager that steels away a key or mouse 
combination, then that is not synedits fault [1].
If synEdit never receives the alt-left mouse, that is your window manager.

The IDE has an advanced mouse setup, it can be changed there. So has 
your window manager.

If you refer to the configuration used in the IDE, in the light of an ( 
[I ASSUME, according to you] "common") feature on linux of using 
alt-left-click, then that is not SynEdit but the IDE
