Seriously now, it's not working for me.

I found something interesting: Doing "Alt Gr" + some letter gives out
strange characters, like ß or æ. They work on the prompt. BUT when doing
characters like à or á, which need two separate keystrokes in time (i.e.
they can't be pressed both at once), only the last keystroke is caught.

I suppose that's the issue.
