AltGr button stops to work (fix)


From time to time my AltGr button stops to work. This is very annoying when trying to type certain special characters. There might be several reasons for this probably, but in my case the culprit is usually Remote Desktop.

If this happens and you have Remote Desktop running (in background too), simply quit Remote Desktop to get AltGr working again.

I had this problem before without running Remote Desktop, and then it was the NVIDIA control panel who had assigned AltGr+(number keys) as global shortcuts. Disable the shortcuts to get it working.
