; Solution for RStudio Server AltGr problem - an AutoHotkey script
;
; RStudio Server Version 0.98.1091 has a bug for Windows browsers:
; on international keyboards AltGr + <any key> turns into a Ctrl + Alt + <key> shortcut,
; if that shortcut is defined. For example, AltGr + X calls the "Extract Function" method,
; while e.g. it is the keyboard combination for # on the Hungarian keyboard.
;
; The little AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) script below catches the AltGr combinations,
; and writes the appropriate characters (defined by ASCII codes) to the editor/console.
;
; Usage:
; 1. Adapt the script to your keyboard layout (if you're not Hungarian).
; 2. Run it with AutoHotkey (and it will stay in the background till closed).
; 3. Start RStudio Server.
; 4. Enjoy typing again.
; Optional: Compile it to an exe with AutoHotkey and share it with those who don't have AHK installed.
