SDL doesn't provide an easy way to distinguish Alt from AltGr when using a keyboard locale with AltGr. This means that combinations such as "AltGr+S" in the robot editor would mark the start of the block instead of printing whatever char AltGr+S represents to the buffer.

I'm not sure how important this is since AltGr combinations are almost always Unicode glyphs and are blocked in most places MZX uses text. This pull request fixes robot editor issues related to this with key combinations that aren't bound by the robot editor.
