OK I have the same problem ...

Made some tests.

The AltGr Key (x86) is called Meta right ?
Apple Key = Meta ...

If I call the Right Alt to be Meta :
Option          "RightAlt"      "Meta"

Then the Right Alt does the same shit as Apple Key does.

I can press Apple + Q which should be "at"
I can press Apple + < which should be "pipe"
But it doesn´t work, also with RightAlt and Q / <

what´s wrong with this ?

Anyone some ideas ?

thanks,


Michael
