Standardizing Keyboard Navigation with AltGr.
Every time you reach for the arrow keys, Delete, or Backspace, your hands leave the home row. This breaks focus and adds physical friction. Laptops make this worse by placing critical keys in non-standard, cramped locations to save space.
This AutoHotkey script resolves that inconsistency by turning your right AltGr key into a modifier for the home row.
Hold AltGr with your right thumb, and your standard letter keys become your navigation cluster (arrows, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn) and your clipboard commands (Undo, Redo, Copy, Cut, Paste) are available without twisting your left hand. It eliminates the need to twist your left pinky to reach Ctrl.
It takes a few days to build the muscle memory, but the result is a unified layout. You can move between any laptop and desktop keyboard without having to re-learn where the manufacturer hid the navigation keys.
