 I had been thinking about something like this, but wasn't sure how to
 implement it.

 Can someone post the changes necessary to remap the alt key to one of:

 * The 'alt gr' key[[br]]
 * The left hand key

 Although mine is already off for RMA I think this would be very helpful to
 many who are experiencing the stuck-alt key ...
