On the client system, are you having to press Ctrl+Alt to emulate AltGr? Or do you have a dedicated AltGr key?
The VNC server is supposed to automatically press/release modifier keys as necessary to type the intended symbol. It sounds like the VNC server is not doing that quite right, though this is the first I've heard of such issues with TigerVNC. - Mike On Fri, Nov 11, 2022, 9:40 AM Yves Auffret <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I'm using tigervnc-standalone-server. > > The behavior is really weird. > > I use a PC French keyboard which has a key that combines the "6", the "-" > (minus) and the "|" (pipe). > > For example, if I use Eclipse as a text editor.
