ATM the API doesn't specify an AltGr function. I'm not sure we can change
that without breaking compatibility.

Lacking a keyboard with a right Windows key I can't test that. Obviously
the right Windows key should also be mapped to Option.
> * Right Ctrl is not the same as Left Alt
At least with the "American" and "German" keymaps I tested here, the right
Control key is mapped to Control (with Alt = Command). If that isn't the
case for other keymaps, then they need to be fixed.
> Furthermore, regardless of all of the above, there are quite a few
keyboard layouts where Right Winkey is simply unassigned. At least that
should be fixed.
Sure.
