What is 'AltGr'? Is that the one naive people like me call "the Windows key"?
The right-hand Alt key.
AFAIK US keyboards don't have it
I'm sitting at a US keyboard now (made by Sun) that has it. Probably most keyboards on Linux boxes don't have it, since they use standard keyboards with few neat keys -- maybe even a Micro$oft one that certainly has no AltGr.
But Jason's response suggests that Linux is often set up when using these keyboards to that the right-hand Alt key will run as AltGr. I never heard that, but maybe it's so.
That said, even my Sun isn't set up to use AltGr this way. What I use instead is the greatest key in the world, Compose. If you have no Compose key, then your keyboard suxors ^_^.
