Just a clarification:

On the new keyboards, it does not have it, I have two laptops where the "alt" 
label is missing:
![mac-keyboard-alt](https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/social/keyboards-social-card.jpg)

The official document about the keyboard [mentions 
](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236) the "alt" key in case the windows 
keyboard is used: `"On keyboards made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead 
of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command."`

So I do not see a reason why the "right option" - "alt gr" key on the PC 
keyboard cannot be mapped to the ALT_GRAPH, same as "left option" - "alt" is 
mapped to the ALT.
