I have an Apple wireless Keyboard (the "old" white one).
It has a left and right Alt-Key.

How do you type "@"? With Shift-2 I think? I must press Alt-L.
And as a Sysadmin I often need "|" (Pipe), which is Alt-7
or "\" (Backslash) = Shift-Alt-7 ... and so on.
I was uded to use the right Alt-key for some Symbols.
This is the output of xev, typing left-Alt-7 and right-Alt-7:
