Tilde Symbol
From the Virtual KVM Client and the Multi-Platform Client, the key combination of Alt Gr + 2
does not produce the tilde (~) symbol when using a French keyboard.
T o o b t ai n th e t i ld e sy mb o l :
Create a macro consisting of the following commands:
1. Press Right Alt
2. Press 2
3. Release 2
4. Release Right Alt
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
Because of a limitation in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Fedora, Linux, and Solaris
clients receive an invalid response from
Alt Gr on UK English and US International language
keyboards. Fedora, Linux, and Solaris do not pick up events for the Alt Gr key combination for
Java 1.4.2 or 1.5. Java 1.6 appears to improve on this, although the keyPressed and keyReleased
events for Alt Gr still identify it as an “unknown key code”.
Also, a key pressed in combination with Alt Gr (such as on the UK keyboard Alt Gr-4 ), which is
the Euro symbol), will only generate a keyTyped followed by a keyReleased event for that value,
without a keyPressed event. Java 1.6 improves upon this by filling in the keyPressed event as well.
Keyboard Language Preference (Fedora Linux Clients)
There are several methods that can be used to set the keyboard language preference on Fedora
Linux clients. The following method
must be used in order for the keys to be mapped correctly
from the Virtual KVM Client and the Multi-Platform Client (MPC).
T o s e t t h e k ey b o a rd la n g u ag e :
1. From the toolbar, select System > Preferences > Keyboard .
2. Open the Layouts tab.
3. Add or select the appropriate language.
4. Click Close .
Note: Other methods will not necessarily yield correct results.
