Comment (by siarzhuk):
Replying to [ticket:6442 rq]:
> Currently, the Opt key maps to two different PC keys: Alt and AltGr.
Have you mistyped here and meant Win and AltGr keys? Because Alt key has
Command assignment by default and AltGr is a typical way to enter Optional
layer in the european keymaps. By the way, I think that this "Win => Opt"
assignment has occured during porting BeOS from PPC to x86 platform.
> This is similar to Macs and same as original BeOS, but it could probably
be better if these two functions were actually separated. AltGr function
(which is actually just a Level 3 Shift) should probably have a separate
keycode.
In my opinion the Win key is the first candidate for separate keycode in
such case. But I do not understand which profit do you get from this?
Additional Win-layer in keymap? :-D
