a few months ago an upgrade does not allow to enter e.g. "@", which is normally alt_gr 2 (is alt_r
2).
the key itself seems to work, as in gnome, alt_r - esc switches between windows, like alt_l - esc.
$ xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)

last time i reinstalled whole x and it worked again, but this should not
be the final solution.
where could one look to get those keys back?

You may have inadvertently deleted some of the files under /etc/X11/xkb,
or something may have gone wrong during the long-since-reverted
migration of the XKB data files from xlibs to xlibs-data.
Closing as resolved per submitter.
