You can search for the name (left filter edit). Though there is a space
"Go to source editor"
Or you can search by key (button "Find Key combination")
In this case the entries are in "Source Notebook commands" if you look
at the main tree nodes.

I have no idea what your alt-gr key does....
You mention using RealVNC in another mail.
IIRC there were some very strange key effects reported with vnc in the
past (no idea if that applies to RealVNC).
From distant memory, vnc sends control keys with a timestamp that does
not match the interpretation that I would have from the doc of this
field.... That said I have no idea if vnc is right or not.
There is an argument that it works with other apps, but that is void,
because other apps may not use this (timestamp) field at all, and then
if it was wrong they would ignore that. Not sure what happened with
regards to this entire story.
