Status in “xkeyboard-config” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg

Aaaargh! We don't have an AltGr, so there's no way to select # with the AltGr+3.

Basically, we need a second-level chooser somehow. Can't use ctrl, as that's already involved in too many keymappings. Same for alt. I'm reluctant to give up keypad-enter, as you can't use the regular enter key when num-lock is on.

So that leaves Apple/Command. This key is mapped to Super right now, and is traditionally unused, but has recently become a Compiz key for some reason. I'm thinking maybe we should change the definition of the right Apple/Command key so that it functions as AltGr. We really don't need 2 super keys.
