DiapDealer: This is the purpose of properly detecting the AltGr key so that it can still be used without triggering Sigil shortcuts.
Users of international keyboards were disadvantaged in such a way that Sigil's hotkeys overwritten characters that are obtained from AltGr. For example, in the default layout of the German language, to get the @ sign press AltGr+q. If this shortcut had been "seized" by Sigil, the user would not be able to type "@". After enabling the checkbox and restarting it will be possible.
As for the weird characters in sigil.ini, it's always been the case, but users should not select conflicting keyboard shortcuts.
I have already mentioned in this thread that I personally do not like it, because after pressing Ctrl+Alt+E on my Polish keyboard layout, I would prefer to see just such a notation, and I see Ctrl+Alt+Ę and in sigil.ini it is written as Ctrl+Alt+\x118.
In the German layout in the Shortcuts window, we will see Ctrl+Alt+€, and in sigil.ini it will be Ctrl+Alt+\x20ac
Such shortcuts are completely useless because they don't work. If there was [input box "Shortcuts"], however, Ctrl+Alt+E appeared, it would all work on the Polish[*] system, German[**], and English.
[*] AltGr+E=Ę (or rather ę, because Shortcuts displays uppercase, but normally it would be a diacritic in a minuscule)
Ctrl+left Alt+E = keyboard shortcut assigned in Sigil
[**] AltGr+E=€
Ctrl+left Alt+E = keyboard shortcut assigned in Sigil
Maybe I think otherwise, but I have the impression that for standard keyboards it would not matter because AltGr is not used there, but for international keyboards layouts it would be concrete progress and no records /xNNN in sigil.ini
But it may not be possible to do it, because since in the current thread the problem was related to the Shift key (and I have the impression that it has been resolved) then this problem is quite different.
