If I switch my machine to the Italian keyboard, Windows applications 
such as Notepad, Word or Mozilla Thunderbird do nothing when I press 
AltGr+ì. (I can type the accented ì alright.) This also applies to the 
Windows console and the default Cygwin terminal running inside that. 
Looking at the Italian keyboard layout in MSKLC, this is because nothing 
has been assigned to AltGr+ì (i.e. the key to the left of backspace).

As I explained, the other terminals you mentioned are X applications, 
and X has its own separate keyboard layout infrastructure. MinTTY is a 
native Windows application though, hence it depends on this key being 
supported in the Windows keyboard layout.

I already accepted the Alt+NumPad issue.
