is the alt-gr specific to german language keyboards? i recently had to use pd on a deutch system and relearn lots of key combos, and remember that extra alt key. @ is shift+2 in the states.
No, AltGr is specific for all international languages that include some sort of accents. AltGr + <accent key> and then <latin1 key>. <accent keys> are usually the top (number) row. AltGr is also used for accessing the EUR and other international currency symbols.
On slovenian keyboard AltGr is used for accessing []{}|@ because their usual places are taken by national (Latin2) characters.
I myself prefer US keyboard because '/' is left of the right shift key. :) But I am using AltGr to access national characters. But I am making a great use of special "Win" and "Menu" keys in fvwm2. The "Win" key is for moving/resizing of windows and "Menu"+<arrow key> is great for moving around the virtual desktop.
