Jacob commented on NETBEANS-639:
--------------------------------
This issue is still present in 11.1 - Shortcuts cannot be defined or used with
the Right-Alt key.
Is there any chance that this can be addressed?
This is a major usability issue for me, and I've switched back to using 8.0.2
for now.

> h2. Impact
> * This becomes an accessibility issue.
> * I have an injury at the moment that makes being forced to just use the
> left-ALT key uncomfortable
> * Long-term there may also be degenerative physical effects. Especial for
> people with conditions affected by this limitation.
> * It looks like EVERY Right-Alt key combination will NOT work.
