You really mean '" or �"�` here?

I see.

US-layout means AWERTY and no ��� as keys, right?
On my (german) layout there are some key-combos which use AltGr 
already (e.g. @ is AltGr+q, � is AltGr+e), so I'm pretty used to it 
and I mapped some other keys to use AltGr for a combo as well, e.g. 
typographic quotes. If you don't use AltGr yet, it might be worth a 
try. We only have to make sure that it doesn't interfere with 
Ctrl+Alt.

Can you give me the output of keytrap.scanmode on your system for the 
keys Ctrl, Alt, AltGr?
Here's mine:
Ctrl: STRG, ScanCode=29, vkcode=162 ( or 17 )
Alt: ALT, ScanCode=56, vkcode=164 ( or 18 )
AltGr shows two keys:
STRG, ScanCode=541, vkcode=162 ( or 17 )
ALT GR, ScanCode=56, vkcode=165 ( or 18 )
So for using AltGr as modifier I use 165,162, that doesn't interfere 
with Ctrl+Alt as modifier (162,164).
The tricky thing is that keytrap doesn't eat modifier keys and 
PowerPro only sends keys onkeyup when Ctrl, Alt, Shift are used, 
which is not acceptable for typing. So I wrote a script as a 
workaround for this. I can adapt this to your vkcodes if I have them.

What was the reason again, that this doesn't work for you?

Using AltGr should be possible. So AltGr+a would be �, but you only 
have one "a", so maybe AltGr+z could be � or so. You would have to 
find a logic mapping for all the keys. Anyway let's try if it works 
for you at all...
