It is not a Mousetrap bug, but maybe it could be \"fixed\" in Mousetrap (and maybe Mousetrap behaviour could change a bit):\r\n\r\nAltGr means Ctrl+Alt on Windows, so if you set a shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+`<key>`, your AltGr+`<key>` system shortcut will stop to work – AltGr+`<key>` shortcuts are used to type characters in many layouts (probably all except US; AltGr+V is @ in Czech layout, AltGr+C is &...).\r\n\r\nBecause of the default action prevention, the characters cannot be typed anymore and it is difficult to spot the reason (there is no similarity between Ctrl+Alt+N Mousetrap shortcut and AltGr+N system combination). Typing might be more important than shortcuts here, so there might be an improvement here (Ctrl+Alt+`<key>` shortcut detection, help notice...).\r\n\r\nI have no idea how to solve this, but I think it is good to bring it into your attention at least.\r\n\r\nThank you and have a great day, Honza\r\n\r\nP.S. There might be a note added into help:\r\nNotice, AltGr is the same as Ctrl+Alt on Windows – if you set a shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+`<key>`, you will prevent your users from using AltGr+`<key>` system shortcut which might be used to type a character in some layouts (e.g. AltGr+N types `}` in many layouts)."}}
