I tried that ... but KC(273) (right alt == AltGr) now behaves as a compose
wich is good :) but the | char. is still not obtainable :(

I checked the 273 and its the right keycode for the key but somehow it
keeps wanting to see the key as an Alt and not as AltGr ... and since
there is no KS_AltGr how to signal it ? KS_Alt_R ? I'm lost :(

Thanks :) broken bar works now allthough i might swap it with bar bar for
now to at least get a workable keyboard ... its difficult to use
redirection without the | :)

Cheers,
