@ Ricky Campell:

> From what I have found looking around that weird symbol ( ⌅ ) is
supposed to be "Enter":

Yes, you are certainly right. Since, however, there is no need for a
separate "Enter" key nowadays AND since this key has the advantage of
having a symbol on it which is probably more or less meaningless to most
users (i.e. it is somewhat "neutrally" labelled), I would suggest to
automatically use it for the AltGr function.

> (and why that mark is also on the Return key):

It is indeed, you are right, as a very small additional second symbol.
Never noticed it before. Guess no one else ever entered before, either.

> I believe that most people remap the right CMD/Apple Key to AltGr with
xmodmap.:

You are certainly right, but IMHO this should work out-of-the-box. Apart
from that, there is a current issue which might make it impossible for
people to do this on a graphical basis (you'll find it if you look
around in Launchpad).

> I have also found in some places that on Mac portables, that the AltGr
function was obtained by doing Fn+Alt, so you might try that as well.

Doesn't work.

No.

there are some options for third level choosers, you can try changing
those around.

I already did. Please read above.
