a few bugs

@Doitsu, I can display the Clip Bar, but it is empty. How do I get content into it?

It should automatically display the first 10 entries displayed in the Clip Editor window (Tools > Clip Editor...).

No, it does not, see attachments.
I have many clips defined, but none show up in the Clip Bar...

I can't see the full toolbar in your image. Has the clip bar simply been shrunk down too far to see anything?

AFAIK, the toolbar will only display top-level clips, i.e. clips that aren't in a group. Try moving some clips out of the first group to the space about the first group.

Here's the full toolbar.
I thought it was not necessary since I expect the Clip Bar being right to the selected and visible "change case"

[WS64]

Thanks, that did it!

@WS64: Here's a screenshot that shows the clips and the Clip Bar. Note that only top level clips will be displayed in the Clip Bar.

Now I have an issue with the Clips. It seems that all the Clips can now (being on top level) be accessed by AltGr 1-9.
Which means I have no chance to use []{} anymore which are on AltGr 7 to 9 on my keyboard.
How can I stop Sigil to use AltGr plus number for the clips?

Sigil Preferences allow control for most keyboard assignments.

Found it. I did not see it first since they were there as CTRL+ALT, which is not AltGr to my knowledge. Anyway, I have removed these entries and have my brackets back.

Windows treats "AltGr" and "Ctrl + Alt" identically; they generate the same scan code and can't be distinguished.

I think this is a bit more complicated as this depends on virtual key mappings, hardware and operating system (and is often a source of mess if you are looking for a general solution e.g. for mobile device keyboards like laptops). What you describe is correct for US keyboard mappings. International keyboards have different key codes for left-/right-hand key's depending on language, keyboard layout (hardware) and mappings in programs / operating systems. For e.g. german keyboards ALT and ALTGR have different codes and in addition depending on the virtual mapping it sometimes have not the same behavior as STRG+ALT (or CTRL+ALT).

It's certainly true for UK keyboards, which have "Alt" to the left of the space bar, and "AltGr" to the right of the space bar. For example, on my UK keyboard, I get the Euro symbol, "€", by pressing "AltGr + 4". I get the same symbol if I press "Ctrl + Alt + 4". Same for the other "AltGr" characters.

I know for sure AltGr is not identical to Ctrl+Alt.
Try to lock your Windows PC with AltGr-Del, that won't work.
I am not sure if this is the only difference though.
