In my experience, the ALT key will work as ALT and the END key works as BREAK.

I ran the following BASIC program on a real CoCo 3 and on VCC to test
the ALT key.  In both cases, pressing ALT displays 191 as the keyboard
row value:

10 POKE &HADEB,&H39  'DISABLE BREAK
20 POKE &HFF02,&HF7   ' STROBE ALT COLUMN
30 PRINT @0,PEEK(&HFF00):GOTO 30

You have do a Reset to break out of this program.
