Hello all,
As a left handed, I’m used to hold the wacom pen with my left hand and using the keyboard with my right hand. My question is how can I use the right alt key (also known as AltGr) to function as the left Alt key? For example, when painting with brushes, pushing the left alt key would "eyedrop" the color of the pixel under the cursor, but the right alt key wont do that.

Uri,

Both Alt keys should work in the same manner.Probably the "right Alt key", is malfunctioning on your keyboard.

That’s not a US English keyboard is it? I seem to remember something like this being discussed a long time ago, but I don’t remember the solution or if there was on.

If your keyboard is truly different there are programs to remap keys on the keyboard. They are very handy for laptops, just move the keys where you want them and remap. Unfortunately if you aren’t using a US keyboard I am not sure that would work.
