Right..  IMHO both Shift and AltGr should never be used for key combos
because they're used to alter the character emitted by a key on the
keyboard.

If only Ctrl and individual characters were always correctly conveyed
and AltGr and Shift was never used as shortcut keys, all would
probably be well with international keyboards in the world of
shortcuts =)...

people that just go ahead and solve them :-).
