So how do I make the changes I described through that? It doesn't seem

Like I said, I need an Alt key on the right side of the keyboard (space bar).
There is nothing in the keyboard settings that would allow me to alter the

which I don't have access to because there is no way to know where this is
defined. Maybe it's hardcoded?
