Good morning to all!

I'm having a problem with my new keyboard and I'm going to share it here to see if someone can help me. I am from Spain and I have always used national ISO keyboards but as I am a software programmer I decided to take the leap to an American ANSI keyboard because of the good reputation they have for these tasks. In addition, I read that with the right Alt you can access the characters I use in my language without much complication, but here came the problems.

I found a keyboard that mapped all the accents and the special key n with the symbol ~ above 'ñ' simply, as I explained before, it is to press right Alt and the corresponding key, this is done as a substitute for Ctrl + Alt the famous deadkey layout. And indeed it works with all keys except 'a': 'éíóúñ'.

I've tried to find out why the error, at first I thought it would be hardware because in a web test the keyboard is not able to show me the two keys pressed at the same time although it detects that I press the 'a' when I press it holding down the right Alt, with any other combination of buttons works perfectly and only with right Alt and the combo Ctrl + Alt + a is when it does not work so I have some hope that it is a software issue, maybe drivers or firmware? My keyboard is DREVO Gramr V2 TE.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Do you maybe have other software running on your system that captures AltGr+a? E.g. Keepass is known to set AltGr+a as a global hotkey for auto-typing.

    Perfect! I was running keepass with that option. I set off and works like a charm! Thank you so much!!
