[bug #25397] Inconsistency in handling Alt Gr key

[Wolfgang Lux]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #25397 (project gnustep):

The Windows backend certainly should not use NSControlKeyMask here, but only
NSAlternateKeyMask. In fact, this is what happens on Apple systems (which do
not have a separate AltGr key anyway). However, beware that this will create
problems with applications like Terminal.app or Emacs.app, which assume that
the Alternate key can be used as an independent modifier key besides the
Command key. In addition, as you've already noted, the gui must be more
careful when checking keyboard equivalents so that, e.g., both keyboard
equivalents Cmd-@ and Cmd-Alt-2 are recognized, which are physically the same
key combination on a German PC keyboard. In principle, the same should apply
to the dictionaries used by NSInputManager.
