| | AltGr key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The meaning of "AltGr" is unclear to most people, even computer experts, but IBM unequivocally says here and here that it is an abbreviation for "alternate graphic". | | | (Some of those who needed this were people using non-US software on systems with US keyboards.) Windows combats it by allowing all keystroke combinations involving AltGr to be duplicated by employing keystroke combinations using Ctrl+Alt in its place. | | | It is for this reason that Ctrl-Alt should not be used as a modifier in Windows keyboard shortcuts (see external link below). |

| | xvkbd - Virtual Keyboard for X Window System |
| | In the default, xvkbd will temporary jump the pointer to the focused window, if input focus is set explicitly via Focus button, and XTEST extension is to be used to simulate keyboard events. | | | If Mode_switch is not defined in the modifier table but ISO_Level3_Shift is defined, xvkbd now attempt to add Mode_switch as the same modifier with ISO_Level3_Shift. | | | This is useful when you want to make the xvkbd window very small. |

| | The Old New Thing : Why Ctrl+Alt shouldn't be used as a shortcut modifier |
| | The only drawback I notice is that Word now thinks all input is in Russian, marks paragraphs appropriately and starts complaining at English words. | | | Sometimes a program accidentally uses Ctrl+Alt as a shortcut modifier and they get bug reports like, "Every time I type the letter 'đ', the program thinks I want to start a mailmerge." | | | Any idea why AltGr + Del doesn't bring up the Task Manager? |

| | Problems with AltGr on international keyboard layouts |
| | In Red Hat Linux 8.0, many users of international keyboard layouts are experiencing severe problems with using the AltGr key, both in console mode and in X mode. | | | Please don't interpret this as some sort of criticism of Speakup or it's inclusion in the Linux kernel; I fully understand the need for it, and am in fact currentlying taking an entry-level university course in deploying assistive technologies, so as to learn more about what solutions are needed. | | | But there has to be a way of enabling Speakup use without rendering the AltGr key, and hence the keyboard layouts used in large parts of the world, unusable at the same time. |

| | Sorting It All Out : "To start press the ALTGR key." Hmm... where's the ALTGR key? |
| | And if you create a custom keyboard with MSKLC, consider putting one of the graphical BOX DRAWING characters in the ALTGR state somewhere, so that you can be one of the cool people that makes the AltGR key meaningful again. | | | To answer your question, not completely (they are just overloading it for important functionality), but it is a perfect overloading of the key since obviously they did not need the AltGR key for anything else. | | | The key is to think about the keyboards and/or the shortcuts you create in the larger context of where you may either step on others or be stepped upon by them. |
