For example, Microsoft has generally used keyboard shortcuts for Windows [2] and Microsoft Office [3] since the transition to 64-bit for Windows 7. However, they used hot keys prior to that and continue to do so in their 32-bit API for developing 'classic desktop apps'.
Most keyboards sold in the US do not have an (engraved) AltGr key. However, if there is a right-hand Alt key it will act as AltGr if a layout using it is installed (conversely a foreign keyboard AltGr will act like the right-hand Alt if the standard US keyboard layout is installed).
