Hi! I've built a firmware with Easy AVR ..., which is running fine, except that the number keys show no effect anymore when pressed together with AltGr, to access some special characters,
I've marked them blue:

The AltGr key is not the problem, it's working on other keys!
Here are the keycodes I assigned with Easy AVR:

Here is the layout file which can be opened in Easy AVR ...:

Here is the sourcecode of the same layout file:

My Keyboard is a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL ISO german with Pegasus Hoof.

The question is, what went wrong, and how to solve it?

There's nothing wrong with it. It is in "virtual numpad" mode. It is turning the number row into the scancodes for the numpad. Either turn off NumLock or disable the virtual numpad. Disabling the virtual numpad is done using the configuration console.

This is the behavior is the default on TKL boards, but all it does it confuse people. It won't be default in future versions.

You can stop by my thread on GH for help any time. Thanks for using Easy AVR USB!

Thanks to metalliqaz for explanation. To enter the config console took me some while, it is written in ./doc/console.txt At first glance I didn't read carefully and thought this file isn't helpful, but I was wrong. You have to flash your keyboard with a firmware with a layout with the function "SCANCODE_DEBUG" somewhere:
Map a key to SCANCODE_DEBUG. With the keyboard properly programmed, open a
text editor and place the cursor in a new file, ready to type. Press the
SCANCODE_DEBUG key. The keyboard will print out a menu into the text editor.

To enter commands, press a single letter and press enter. The config menu
has functions for changing the configuration options. Don't forget to quit
the interactive mode before moving on to other things!
