Windows 10: Why my right Alt key is giving an × mark when i try to use alt+= shortcut in excel?

Why my right Alt key is giving an × mark when i try to use alt+= shortcut in excel?

:)

 

Modifying the right ALT key on my French Canadian Keyboard (Windows 10)

I am trying to modifying the right ALT key to obtain ã (Portuguese tilde on a)

It already exists with the combination of ALT+ right square Bracket, and the choosing the lower a or caps a.

What I would like to do is to use the ALT key + (the column and semi-column key) to get the
ã directly in one step.

(This is the most common letter I need - I do not need Ã)

So what is the best step to do that mod???

Thanks for the help

Keyboard shortcut Alt key not working

I have no use of my hands so must use a mouthstick. With the Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts the Alt key will not work in many instances but will in others even though it's listed as working in all. It's also all over the board app to app. What I've found:
Alt - F4 works as exit on most but not all apps, Alt - left and right for navigating forward and backward in any app do not, Alt - home doesn't work in any web browser, Alt - ctrl -del doesn't etc...

I have 2 computers with the same problems. A Dell Precision M4800 laptop and a Dell OptiPlex 990 desktop. Is it Dell related?

Any help would be appreciated,

Steve
