    Hi , i'm completely lost. How do i get the email-at-symbol (@) within my guest windows on a german keyboard ? i read some threads according keyboards-mapping in this forum but i didn't understand anything ... do i have to install anything or is there some "magical" keycombination ?

    thanks and regards

    You can use "ctrl + alt" to get AltGr and after that - your modifier for the @ key.

    Unfortunately there are situations where this is not sufficient. I have to use Windows to establish a Citrix connection to a remote network where I'm running some X11 windows trough Exceed from a remote Unix system.
    In this situation Exceed is doing its very own keyboard mapping and this only works for AltGr if a "real" AltGr scancode is received by Exceed. This is now no longer the case. Even if I had to klick on a screen symbol this would be better than what we have now - since there is no way besides copy and paste to get special chars like @ or | into these remote unix windows now.

    I really hope for a solution.
