On the spanish keyboard, the ] character is gotten through ctrl-alt-+, the "+"
being two keys right from the P key, like on US keyboards.
On french keyboards, it is ctrl-alt-), the ) being on the right of the 0 (zero)
key ( - on the US keyboard).
AltGr (right alt key on continental keyboards) automatically translates to
ctrl-alt, so that we use this single shift rather than ctrl-alt.

Actually, WM_SYSKEYDOWN is emitted, and there are cases where bit 29 is 1,
namely when there is no active window to get the keystroke.
