From reading the Qt windows platform code, it looks like a left Ctrl and right Alt should be detected as an AltGr if no altgr key exists. Of course, I have not tried that at all!

I think I'd like to get the SettingsStore prefs for the windows altgr parameter coded and try to get some more Windows international keyboard users testing it (they can manually change the default false to true in the Sigil INI), before getting down to the GUI nitty-gritty (though the idea of a Windows-only Prefs tab does sound like a good idea to me). Whatever we do, though, it's definitely going to need restart of Sigil to take effect after changing the setting, though.

I just want to make absolutely sure this thing is working the way it's expected. I set up a few international keyboard profiles on a Windows VM and I can't get the Sigil shortcuts created with the right Alt key to function correctly, myself (after they've been created). But then I don't have a physical AltGr key on my keyboard either. Perhaps that's a requirement for this to be relevant?
