My right ALT key is not working
0
The left ALT key works fine, but the right Alt key does nothing. I used xev to check the button and it works. I use it for for shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal so I want to fix this problem. thanks.

Which keyboard layout are you using?

I use English US layout and Greek.

Ok. When the Greek layout is active, Right Alt is used to access third and fourth level symbols, so combinations like <Ctrl>+<Right Alt>+T is not supposed to work. It should work, though, when English US is active, if English US means the basic US layout and not one of the variants.
