    AltGr is supposed to be equivalent to Alt + ctrl.
    At present, when we press e.g. AltGr + E while writing text, we check if any command can handle it and if yes it is not passed to application to handle key event. That’s why existing commands are triggered on those extended char shortcuts.

    If we want to change the behavior that while writing text key shortcuts (e.g. AltGr + E) should write extended character, Then we will have to sacrifice all the text contextual shortcuts we have at present in app e.g. ctrl + alt + I does something. All those commands would stop working.
    This is the reason why we are moving it to the feature

    Please do sacrifice all the text contextual shorcuts. They are not as useful as being able to write. It is extremely uncomfortable that we have to copy the necessary characters from Notepad, one by one. Please ask the InDesign team how to do it, this problem is non-existent there.
