Topic Shift AltGr K_O

Listed below are a set of Rules to convert any Latin letter to a combination of symbols. All of them work as expected. Except the four line [SHIFT RALT K_O] produces nothing. If I change it to [SHIFT RALT K_P] it works perfectly.

   The sister Rules, the seventh and tenth [SHIFT RALT K_S] & [SHIFT RALT K_T] work correctly.

   The only thing that comes to mind is that on a standard UK keyboard Shift AltGr is Ó. On a standard UK keyboard, Shift AltGr S & Shift AltGr T have no value.
[RALT K_O] works correctly, and on a standard UK keyboard, this would produce ó.
[RALT K_S] works correctly, on a standard UK keyboard, this produces nothing.
[RALT K_T] works correctly, on a standard UK keyboard, this produces nothing.

:

Any(LLs) $SK + [K_O]            > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.o,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [SHIFT K_O]      > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.O_,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [RALT K_O]       > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.oo,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [SHIFT RALT K_O] > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.OO_,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [K_S]            > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.s,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [RALT K_S]       > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.sh,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [SHIFT RALT K_S] > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.sh_,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [K_T]            > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.t,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [RALT K_T]       > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.th,1) Any(LLs) $SK + [SHIFT RALT K_T] > Context(1) Index(SO,1) Index(Sup.th_,1)

   I could change the Rule to [CTRL ALT K_O], but for consistency, I would have to reconsider all the other AltGr Rules.

   Do you have any thoughts?

PS another pit-fall?

I'm guessing, but is it possible that Ctrl+Alt+O is a hotkey set in Keyman Configuration which is overriding the Shift RAlt K_O in your keyboard design?

Thank you for your thoughts. I am using the free version of Keyman Desktop, which as far as I know does not have hotkeys.

   I woke this morning thinking that possibly it was because I had add [SHIFT RALT K_O] > Ó. But before I could test it, I remembered that [RALT K_O] > ó had also been added, and that Rule worked, when the [SHIFT RALT K_O] did not work.

   In this time of trying to map this pit-fall, it has beaten me. So I throw in the towel. I am going to accept that Left CTRL & Left ALT is the most reliable combination. Both are on the left and a shift key is there as well. With care, the Left CTRL & Left ALT can be pressed with the first & third fingers of the left hand, leaving the right hand to press the key of interest. And with a little practice the Left SHIFT, Left CTRL, & Left ALT can all be pressed with the same two fingers.

   I may revisit this after the Beta testing is over. But for now, all CTRLs are LCTRL and ALTs are LALT.

Thank you for your help.

God bless.

Oh, forgot to say, I have not defined a &Hotkey in the header.

Shift + Ralt maps to Shift + Left Ctrl + Right Alt on Windows. I wonder if you have any other apps installed that are overriding that hotkey, for example graphics drivers often have hotkeys such as this defined.
