I have a German keyboard layout, so when I type something like AltGr + ß I get a \. However, when I type e.g. AltGr + g, I get a G. This can be quite annoying, as in LaTeX, this has the effect that I frequently type stuff like \Gamma, instead of \gamma.

Can the behaviour of AltGr be changed, so that it doesn't produce uppercase letters anymore, without disabling the "third level" effect?

I use Windows 10 with the Language "English (Germany) - German".

    Try to use the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to modify the behavior of the keyboard. See [this answer](https://superuser.com/a/650854/8672) and beware of [this gotcha](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/custom-keyboard-layout-under-windows-10/26f3d73c-b865-42ce-aba3-8004cedbf62e). – harrymc Jul 24 '21 at 18:46

  • Do you mean [this German keyboard layout](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdgr)? – JosefZ Jul 24 '21 at 20:08

As suggested by harrymc, using MSKLC solves the issue: one can simply set it up in a way, that AltGr + a letter, e.g. g results in a g.
