I remember having read in the book "Object Oriented Programming" by Grady Booch that:
"Modifying earlier type of (non-OO) software is like adding a basement to an existing 20 story building".
Looks like an example of that.

Just the two alt keys dead. Not sure if it's a hardware failure.
I can just move out and buy a new one. but your reply might contribute towards an effective e-waste management policy.

Working fine on mine, so it looks like it's just you.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Most likely not a hardware problem. Oldschool keyboard encoders often used separate inputs for shift, ctrl and the like. On PC keyboards they have always been part of the keyboard matrix and more keys on the same row or column of the matrix should fail.
To be sure, just try another keyboard if you have one. Shirley you still have some old stuff lying around?

The ALT to the ALT is not working? What are the odds? I'd check the man in the middle. Mine's the spacebar. That could be significant. But wait, there is also a Windows key on either side of my 2 alt keys. It's a conspiracy! (Or at least a pattern)

Turn off scroll-lock and ALT-lock on your keyboard

You forgot 'see nothing', 'hear nothing' and 'say nothing'. How long have you been in the military?

No, not been in the military at all, they skipped everyone from my birthyear, as it was such a bad year.
I compensated however by playing Battlefield 1942 a lot

When I was in it was "hear nothing, say nothing and 2 out of 3 ain't bad".
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

We're under a "smart" lockdown and the smartest thing to do right now would be to get my coat...
