Use AltGr as an output modifier

Open boesi opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi

I use a US keyboard with the EurKEY layout. There the right Alt key acts as AltGr to write all letters with diacritics.

This is really nice, except that the right Alt key is a bit awkward to reach on my keyboard. In German, I need the letters ü, ä, ö and ß quite often and this finger acrobatics is a bit challenging. But <Space+u>, <Space+a> and so on is perfect. I added these bindings:

<Space+u> → <Ctrl-Alt-u>
<Space+a> → <Ctrl-Alt-a>
<Space+o> → <Ctrl-Alt-o>
<Space+s> → <Ctrl-Alt-s>

This works in most applications, but in Word and Outlook <Ctrl-Alt-s> has a special meaning. <AltGr-s> works in this case. And in Word, <Ctrl-Alt-u> does nothing?

So is it possible to add AltGr as an output modifier?

Anyway, thanks for this great software.
