pkl and altgr

After running a vanilla pkl v0.3 (ie, no changes to layouts or anything) with a U.S. keyboard (no dead keys), I can't figure out how to insert some of the characters displayed in the help view when right alt is pressed. Ex: if I want to type the character "æ", I would think all I need to do is press right alt (AltGr) and while holding AltGr, press the QWERTY (or Colemak) 'z' key. But when I do this I just hear a windows alert sound. Am I doing anything wrong? How do I insert these nifty characters shown in the help when in AltGr mode? Most of them give me beeps. If I press one of the red keys to get to a point where I don't have to hold altgr anymore, then i can get some of those ones to work, but not always (depends on the application I'm in it seems).

I figure I must be missing something here. What is it?

Re: pkl and altgr

figured it out
This is what the nonASCII modes are for. if i use a different mode, it works.
