When connected to an RDP server that uses the US English layout and typing "@" using AltGr+2 with a Norwegian layout locally, I can confirm that the following key events are sent and that the events are correct: 1) Right Alt down 2) Right Alt up (automatically released by Guacamole due to the need to type "@") 3) Shift down 4) "@" down 5) "@" up 6) Shift up I think the issue in this case is that pressing and releasing "Alt" will select the menu bar within the remote desktop session (if the application has a menu bar), causing the menu to eat the key events that follow. The ultimate solution would be to ensure the client side of Guacamole is able to accurately differentiate between Right Alt and AltGr, such that the AltGr keypress is properly ignored if the remote keyboard lacks AltGr. A workaround for the time being would be to select a server layout that does have AltGr, ensuring that pressing/releasing that key will not select the menu. - Mike
