Details:

The X backend handles the AltGr key by changing the characters, but not
setting any modifiers. In the MS Windows backend we also set the
NSControlKeyMask and NSAlternateKeyMask modifiers. This results in keys like
@, that are on German keyboards only available by pressing AltGr, generating a
beep, as NSInputManager get the control modifier and does not know how to
handle that.

I think that the MS Windows backend is more correct here, the modifiers were
pressed and we should report them, but then gui should be able to deal with
that case, before we change the X backend to do the same.
