		If your keymap is configured with an AltGr key, you can also press Ctrl+Alt simulatenously to get the same effect.
		This would normally require both hands, unless you want to stretch your left hand all over the keyboard (not good for fast typing), so instead you can do (left)ctrl+alt+2, which is pretty easy to do with one hand.
		This key is used in a fashion similar to the shift key.

	Sorting It All Out : "To start press the ALTGR key." Hmm... where's the ALTGR key?
		And it popped into my head as I prepared to talk about the AltGR key, which is a key that does not exist on the keyboard upon which I am typing right now.
		Thats fine as far as it goes, but only the first two words of his post suggest what AltGR stands for, and the words do not really explain what it means, though he talks a bit about what it does.
		The original intended purpose of it was to have an easy way to get at the table-based graphical characters that were so handy to use in a console application, located on the right side of the spacebar.

	macosxhints.com - AltGr in Parallels Desktop on a laptop Mac
		A Mac keyboard of course has no AltGr key, but I thought one could use the key combination Control-Alt instead.
		This works very nicely for me. However, I have not yet had the chance to test what happens when I connect an external keyboard.

		AltGr + hyphen produces the "soft hyphen": an invisible character that marks a point where a word may be broken and a hyphen added when laying out text.
		AltGr + space is the "non-breaking space", a space character where the line is not allowed to split.
		AltGr + comma adds a cedilla to c and C (ç Ç), a ring above to a and A (å Å), a slash to o and O (ø Ø), and turns 2, 3, and 4 into ½, ¾, and ¼ respectively.

	AltGr key
		AltGr key) is used to generate additional characters.
		In most cases, you can still use either ALT keys except when the right one is used to generate a special character that is not part of the default keyboard layout.
		The end result is actually a superset of the typical US keyboard layout in that you can access all of the US characters typically available plus a whole bunch of additional characters like accented characters those mentioned above.

	Problems with AltGr on international keyboard layouts
		Even pressing AltGr by itself generates garbage, which it shouldn't, since it's supposed to be a silent key.
		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.

	KEYMAPS
		Which of the actions bound to a given key is taken when it is pressed depends on what modifiers are in effect at that moment.
		Binding AltGr_Lock to a key sets AltGr in effect when the key is pressed and cancels the effect when the key is pressed again.
		(In the example: only the plain, Shift, AltGr, Control, Control+Shift, Alt and Control+Alt maps, that is, 7 columns instead of 256.) When no such line is given, the keymaps 0-M will be defined, where M+1 is the maximum number of entries found in any definition line.

	AltGr and vncviewer for Win 95
		AltGr works with Win NT (vncviewer release 16 and 19), but not with Windows 95.
		AltGr sends a Alt, Ctrl key press sequence, which should be released before the ascii code equvalent of the combination is sent (e.g.
		This happens correctly under NT, but not under 95, where the mode keys are not released before the ascii code is sent.

	Keyboards
		Holding down Control and Alter together is equivalent to holding the AltGr key (to the right of the spacebar), but AltGr is not found on all keyboards.
		The AltGr combinations often conflict with application shortcuts so the dead key method is preferable.
		The Pāli Extended Keyboard is similar to the US International keyboard, which uses dead keys to type many of the accented vowels required by European languages.

	NM: Remote Desktop Sharing Problem When You Use the AltGr Key in Programs (Site not responding. Last check: )
		If you use the AltGr key in combination with another key to type characters in a program that is used on a remote computer, like Wordpad.exe, you cannot use other navigation keys in the used program anymore.
		In many keyboard layouts, the AltGr key is used to access the third keystate to create characters.
		For example, if you use a German keyboard, the AltGr key is used to type the backslash (\) character, the tilde (~) character, or the number sign (#) character in programs.

		Pressing the right Alt (i.e., AltGr) key with the L key has no effect when using the Polish (Programmers) keyboard.
		It should produce the l or L, depending on whether the Shift key is pressed or not.
		The AltGr (or right Alt) key in European keyboards is equivalent to holding both the Alt and Ctrl keys simultaneously.

	X windows keyboard notes
		This says that this "level 3" shift is bound to the AltGr (Alternate Group) key.
		Note you can't press the subsequent key with AltGr held as that would be a different map, and I represent the fact that no keys should be held, with a wider space in this document.
		Note also that these dead keys are not exclusive to the "level 3" map but are all configured here for my layout.

	[Bug 2871] New: Different results for shift-altgr and altgr-shift. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Altgr then shift seems to give the expected results.
		You have to press the third key twice to get any characters, and then if you keep shift and altgr down and press it a third time you get a different character.
		The first three work, and shift-altgr does the right thing but I would assume altgr-shift should do the same thing.

	Hotkeys (Mouse, Joystick and Keyboard Shortcuts)
		If your keyboard layout has an AltGr key instead of a right-Alt key, this series of symbols can usually be used to stand for AltGr (requires Windows NT/2k/XP or later).
		Alternatively, to make AltGr itself into a hotkey, use the following hotkey (without any hotkeys like the above present):

	EmacsWiki: AltGrKey
		Emacs keys may be “hidden” because AltGr + Control + key is just AltGr + key For example on a Swedish keyboard @ and \ are typed using AltGr.
		This means that all things bound to C-@ anywhere in a keymap (at any depth) is not possible to type.
		The trick is that you must type AltGr as the first key, and Ctrl must be the right control key, not the left one.

		I'm still not sure, but after some more Googling I found a way to map this to AltGr in XP.
		Update [23.10.2006]: The last build of Parallels (Build 1940 from October 12) sports "better keyboard support" where the right Apple key is now mapped to the "right-mouse button" key found on Windows keyboards.
		However, doing so now would render the left Apple key useless since it too is mapped to the left Windows key.
