That's only the example. 1 is obviously not hardcoded in the real source
code, which I have attached (I just initially wanted to avoid you having
to browse into the whole not-so-readable source ).

That's clearly not obvious from an altgr point of view: people use altgr
to type '@', so it makes sense to simulate the hit of the right alt
(i.e. altgr).

But for the cases when only alt is to be pressed, this simulates a right
alt, which with e.g. the french layout is not the same as the left one.

But it won't work with DOS applications (e.g. edit). That's precisely
the reason why I added the special case.
