Cool! Yes, there is a problem with modifier keys across systems and across
keyboard layouts. AltGr (right alt) is the only more or less standard thing
that I know of but some Apple keyboards lack the right alt and I think the
"us" keyboard layout that seems to be more or less default (to the point
where "nl" layouts are hard to find in the Netherlands!) makes no real
distinction between left and right alt for entering characters.

Just using alt + L, then praying that it doesn't conflict with some OS or
Window manager seems like a good pick.

Thanks!

PS. It's a source of personal frustration to me that the omnipresence of
us-layout keyboards, which lack support of accented and similar characters,
is -apparently- causing the distinction between "één" (English: one) and
"een" (English: a) to disappear from written Dutch. I'd argue that there is
enough difference between "I have one eye" and "I have a eye" to make it
explicit which one is meant.
