Okay, here is a "For Dummies" version:
You CAN assign a different introducer key for launchpad -- just not the Alt key. Alt is special. It does not even return an event showing that it was pressed, until AFTER another key is pressed, and even then, it may not return an Alt key.
For example, Alt followed by Q returns only a single keycode, which is a numeric 1.
Any *other* key could be used as an introducer key though. 5-way keys would require support by launchpad, and may not be supported as an introducer key.
That being said, it is possible to use an Alt key as an introducer key with suitable modifications to launchpad and/or its config files, but it would add the undesirable complication that top row keys (on kindles with no numeric keys) could not be used as the second key in a hotkey sequence.
