Update and corrections supplied by Grant Semmens I am Welsh. Our language, Cymraeg, has the occasional hat on top of a letter, for example my sister is called Siân. Now English is one of the few European languages without graves or accents; so it is likely that England is where the urban myth that Alt Gr means Alternative Grave originated. As Celts, we Welsh are aware that our continental cousins use these extra letters, for example á or é or ó. My point is that if you need an accented vowel, then either, you need to add letters from the Symbols font - cumbersome, or alternatively, remember that alt 144 means é. Note this time I mean the left, plain, Alt key and not the right Alt Gr (Confusing isn't it!) From my cousins across the pond in America, I hear that Spanish is big in some neighbourhoods so presumably Spanish Americans occasionally employ accented letters. So in a nutshell, the Alternative Grave myth is wrong. To prove it, go to the keyboard, hold down the right hand Alt Gr and type a vowel. Result á é ì ó �. These characters are actually the acute form of the letter. The grave has the accent sloping the other way è �. Conclusion Alt is indeed an abbreviation of Alternative, however 'Gr' may well stand for Graphics in the sense of special characters such as á é. Grant has convinced me that Gr has nothing to do with grave as that accent slopes the other way. Funnily enough, Alt Gr only appears on English, English keyboards, and seems absent on American English keyboards. Further Research If you are interested in Diacritics, as these strange symbols are called, navigate this path: Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools has a Character map. Well worth a visit should you wish to check the precise alt + number value of any symbol, not just the graves. For example â is alt + 0226 (Num Lock On, and press the numeric keyboard value).Good Night Beloved
