But it is... 

1) The Alt codes do not work in the Win32 version of goated, only the control codes work.

2) The codes generated by Alt q and control q are independant of the keyboard setting. With the keyboard in US ASCII the q key generates the ASCII code for the letter q. With the keyboard in Cyillic mode it generates the CP866 or UTF-8 code for the Russian letter й. I tried it in Golded. Alt q, control q and q all do the same in  "ASCII" modes. In Cyrillic mode Alt q and control q work. Pressing the q key does nothing.

Same in goated with < and > for first and last message. It does not work with the keyboard in Cyrillic mode. In Cyrillic mode they are б and ю.

I suspect you do not have other keyboard modes than German installed...
