    On Windows I have assigned my own symbols on AltGr and since I am a programmer and have used these symbols already for more than a year, I've got used to these. Now I try to configure Mac and I can't find a way to assign the same symbols to AltGr. Is it possible? How should I do that?

    From what I gather, KeyRemap4MacBook is the remapping tool of choice for that platform these days.

    Excellent, but the thing is that I don't get how to change the target to a character, which is not listed in the key code, like, for instance, "("?
    When I do this
        <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::F, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::BRACKET_RIGHT</autogen>
    it prints a square bracket, not round. I understand, there is no such thing as "round bracket key", because it resides on "9" key, so how do I do it?

    Oh, now I get it! I had to put another modifier key at the end of autogen!
