The ALT key is used in combination with other keys to perform particular functions.
These functions are determined by the program being used. To enter a keyboard
shortcut with the ALT key, you press and hold down the ALT key at the same time
as you press the other key. The right ALT GR key works in a similar way to the left
ALT key, but is used to obtain special characters. The CTRL key (Control) performs
program functions in the same fashion as the ALT key.
