RFE: in PETSCII mode, do we have enough space in the layout to make AltGr work like Alt in cases which would otherwise do nothing? #337

It would seem to enhance usability.

why do we even distinguish between alt and altgr? why is secondary set in x16-abc mapped to alt, while on pl-pl it's mapped to altgr? why does the emu treat altgr as ctrl+alt, can't we get around this? does windows API only send ctrl+alt in this case? cant the sdl be set up see the difference between ctrl+alt and altgr?

yeah, i needed to rant, sorry

For some reason, it was chosen in mist64's design to treat AltGr the same as Ctrl+Alt rather than having a bit of its own. I'm not sure of the motivation there, since shflag appears to have two unused bits.
