Description
Proton version: 5.0-5
In games I normally use the 'right Alt' (Alt Gr) key for functions in games.
But in games which use Proton it's not possible to assign this key.
Since it works with native Linux games, I assume this is a problem with proton.
(I have a German keyboard layout.)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with Proton 5.0-5, a German keyboard layout, and a game that cannot bind right Alt (Alt Gr); compare the result with a native Linux game. The issue is done when right Alt can be assigned and used in Proton games.
