I'm confused...what's Alt Gr. I looked it up on Wikipedia but it stands for "Alternate Graphic" and from their representation it looked like the Windows Key? Is it only on international keyboards?

Sorry, I clicked "Crtl-gr" and that reload the page.

Using Alt Gr is still bloody hard unless you've got one of those alien hands out of Total Recall.

I don’t mind the reaching for Ctrl Alt Del. It’s become natural over time and I wouldn’t want it changed. I tried the calc combo on my TI-84 and it worked perfectly (luckily it doesn’t do anything important without confirmation). I never would have known my calc had that.

You know on many less advanced calculators (not graphing or scientific) you can shut them down by holding ALL CLEAR 5 6. I used to think it was a bug but maybe it’s a form of crash rebooting.

Command option escape, I was wondering what the combo was for Mac (actually I figured it was nonexistent since it adds a “force quit” button to the menu).
