AltGr is used by many layouts such as German, Turkish, French, Polish, and US International.

Also, this was supposed to be fixed in 1.0. I don't know why they decided to release 1.0 prematurely.

Today I learned I can type an acute accent ´ without memorizing the "alt code" by using right alt.

Now I can `quote´ in annoying ways or more ‘proper’ ways. This is life changing.

It's also nifty to be able to type ¼ and ½

Yes, I'm from Germany and had the same problem.

LiveScript is a pain with it :\
