    Hello,
    In order to use Polish characters, in Windows usually the right Alt key + the corresponding letter (i.e. Alt+a gives 'ą' etc) is being used. In MAC OS this is normally the option key, but as the Option on apple keyboards is located more right to the space button than Command key, a lot of Mac users decide to switch those two in MAC OS system preferences. Which works well. However, with such option set, when I installed Win11 virtual machine, I cannot get the RIGHT command button to work properly as "Alt". It works well with the left one, but not with the right. Unfortunately, I really got used to use the right one only for this purpose, so do you know if there is maybe any way to set it up properly? (on the other hand, when I put back the default settings in MacOS, my Windows VM is properly working with both: left & right Option keys).

    Small update - with the default MacOS settings, in Win11 VM only the RIGHT Option key gives the Polish characters, the left one is not working. And after I switch those two in MAC OS, only the LEFT Command key works... Puzzle :)
