    Hi, Michael!
    
    Could you remove "Alternate" word from these strings? It is excessive here. It prevents the text from fitting into the list widget. And the user already knows that it is related to the Alternale action because they are shown in "Alternate" group already.

The template overrides the ability to execute alternate actions, but none of those tools supported alternate actions previously and the ellipse and rectangle were already overriding the modifier keys to begin with.

A more complete refactoring might define KisToolSelectBase via the selection tool template, but it is not simple for the path selection tool which uses a more complicated delegated design pattern.
