Do you have a key labeled "Alt Gr" ???
Never seen such?

I am also looking for such stuff....I wanna type German Special Characters
(Umlauts) but can't find a way to do that with the US keyboard Layout.
Changing to the German Keyboard layout is an option, but not quite
convenient.

In Windows, I can type that by pressing Alt+<ASCII Code of the character>
..but in Linux I don't find such an option.

Does anybody know of a similar thing in Linux?

And yeah...what is "Alt Gr" ?
