Description
Hello,
I'm using the neo-layout. Most Inputs are recognized correctly. But when I hit AltGr+O (G on a normal Keyboard, which is supposed to result in End), fman recognizes an upper O. The cursor still jumps to the last position, But because the O is left at the previous position, it isn't as easy as Backspace to correct it.
Example:
D=> D|e=> De|s=> Desk|Home=> |DeskAltGr+O=> ODesk|
The same is true for many of Level4's Combinations (as on the Website, mentioned before).
Interestingly AltGr+N results in a 4 as it should.
Thanks,
Jan

Research direction
Start by reproducing the neo-layout sequence described in the issue, especially AltGr+O and other Level 4 combinations. Trace the keyboard input handling to find where the extra character is retained while the cursor moves. Done means these combinations move the cursor without leaving an unwanted character, while AltGr+N continues to produce 4.
