        When I said the ALTGR+2 I meant the key "2" in the normal
keyboard (the one that has the doble-quotes over it).

        That right, first the ALTGR and after that the combo key.

        I think the problem is that, the @,#,etc... keys are under value 125,
so your routine fails over them. Other problem may be that you're checking
the keypad numbers, and I'm using the normal keyboard for these combos.

        I think the solution would be to "free" the ALT GR key from doing
functions that the ALT can do: ALT-0 toggle screen, ALTGR-0 prints ascii 0.

        What is PP?
