I haven't seen an AltGr key on a keyboard in the US in at least 15 years.
- pjmlp 9y agoIn Europe most PC shops still sell them.
- buckminster 9y agoApart from the label, AltGr is identical to right hand Alt. The difference is all in software. For example, if you tell your computer you have a UK keyboard it will treat right hand Alt as AltGr.
- kps 9y agoAt the USB HID level, AltGr is merely the right Alt key; the interpretation is just host software. If a keyboard physically has two keys labelled ‘Alt’ and two labelled ‘AltGr’, then at the protocol level both ‘Alt’s are (indistinguishably) USB LeftAlt and both ‘AltGr’s are USB RightAlt. (Mac keyboards' ‘Option’ is the label for USB Alt and acts like Windows' AltGr.)
