What is [the key marked AltGr]? What does Gr stand for?


"Alternate Graphic" -- though users keep asking me what that
"Alt-Griechisch" (ancient Greek) key is meant for ;-)

The key is used to access the 3rd character assigned to some keys
(where 1st, and 2nd, are lower, and upper, case, respectively).

Cheers,
