So recently, when I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3, which involves a lot of pressing alt, a system sound keeps playing every once in a while. I think it has something to do with alt+wasd or alt+mouse buttons or something, but I can't figure out what it is.

Anyone know what this could be?

Alt+Right click is the default binding for the in-game ping system, iirc.

Other than that, you'd have to search the Keyboard shortcuts in KDE settings for ALT+ to find what's causing the sound.

Yeah I did, and as far as I could tell all of the shortcuts with alt also include some extra modifier.

It's definitely a KDE sound though, it's the default system bell sound.

There are some key combinations to enable/disable sticky keys. Maybe that's it?

I don't see a shortcut for sticky keys in the keyboard settings, that's probably not it. Also haven't noticed any different behaviour after the sound plays.

Sticky keys are a Windows thing so it wouldn't be in the game settings
