I'm not sure if this is already known, but applications which use SDL for keyboard inputs on non-english Windows systems, cannot properly handle the Right-Alt key and recognise it as the key combination Left-Ctrl + Right-Alt.
The reason for this, is that the Ctrl-Alt key on a US keyboard sends the same scancode as the Right-Alt (AltGr) key on non-english systems.
I've observed this for the first time in DOSBox-X and mentioned it here:
joncampbell123/dosbox-x#915

some further investigations shows, that DOSBox + forks and other applications like RetroArch for example share the same problem.
Is there a chance for a fix?
