Not all of them. Some use AltGr+4 because that position was not already used for another character. So the AltGr+E is only the most common key mapping added to existing pre-Euro layouts. For example the French layout could have used AltGr+1, but this caused problems on already extended keyboards that map there an accute accent dead key (needed in French to enter accented uppercase letters like E WITH ACCUTE, or C WITH CEDILLA, which do exist in French but are not easily accessible with the standard French keyboard). So using AltGr+E caused less problems as this position is free in all standard and extended French keyboard mappings. AltGr+4 was used on non-Latin keyboards designed for systems out of the European Union (where European directives do not apply), and sometimes on other keys: Russia? Thailand? Japan? __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
