Good morning Michael,

Thanks for your fast response, on the RDP side we are able to set the input
to either ENG-US or PT-PT, with the same results (using R_Alt and L_Alt)
But then I recalled when we created the VM on VMware, before being able to
use any rdp client we had to login via VM console, in which we figured out
that shift+2 produced '@' , which is just a one-time trick as when we log
into it, we configure it to allow remote desktop access.
Not even shift+2 was working, but at some point I looked at cmd key next to
R_Alt and it worked... I am kinda baffled of why I haven't seen it
earlier... guess that is solved and we can move forward with that single
point access solution.

Since that part was on hold for a bit, we didn't contemplate the extensions
and libs that come along with the release, I guess those can be placed onto
/etc/guacamole/extensions or /etc/guacamole/libs directly? It was compiled
earlier but it's using Tomcat 8.5.4, I suppose best thing should be making
a clean install with Tomcat 9?

Thanks in advance

- Luís
