@ Ricky Campell:
> From what I have found looking around that weird symbol ( ⌅ ) is supposed to be "Enter":
Yes, you are certainly right. Since, however, there is no need for a separate "Enter" key nowadays AND since this key has the advantage of having a symbol on it which is probably more or less meaningless to most users (i.e. it is somewhat "neutrally" labelled), I would suggest to automatically use it for the AltGr function.
> (and why that mark is also on the Return key):
It is indeed, you are right, as a very small additional second symbol. Never noticed it before. Guess no one else ever entered before, either.
> I believe that most people remap the right CMD/Apple Key to AltGr with xmodmap.:
You are certainly right, but IMHO this should work out-of-the-box. Apart from that, there is a current issue which might make it impossible for people to do this on a graphical basis (you'll find it if you look around in Launchpad).
> I have also found in some places that on Mac portables, that the AltGr function was obtained by doing Fn+Alt, so you might try that as well.
Doesn't work.
> (Is this how it functions under OSX?)
No.
> Also under the Advanced button when choosing your keyboard layout, there are some options for third level choosers, you can try changing those around.
I already did. Please read above.
