Suggestion:

                    Press Alt-Gr or Right Alt key and simultaneously

I guess we should add instructions for a test user to turn the setting back to default, or skip the test if their system does not have such a setting.

We also use the `forcePass/forceFail` approach:
* The test user may not have a chance to read the instructions all the way through if they are just following them.
* If the user accidentally presses a mouse button with the wrong or missing modifier, there is no way to retry.

So maybe we should add `logArea` and print theresults there, to allow the test user to make several attempts, and read the instructions till the end.
