Keyboard Notes
French Keyboard
Caret Symbol (Linux Clients Only)
The Virtual KVM Client (VKC) do not process the key combination of Alt
Gr + 9 as the caret symbol (^) when using French keyboards with Linux
®
clients.
To obtain the caret symbol:
From a French keyboard, press the ^ key (to the right of the P key), then
immediately press the space bar.
Alternatively, create a macro consisting of the following commands:
1. Press Right Alt
2. Press 9.
3. Release 9.
4. Release Right Alt.
Note: These procedures do not apply to the circumflex accent (above
vowels). In all cases, the ^ key (to the right of the P key) works on French
keyboards to create the circumflex accent when used in combination with
another character.
Accent Symbol (Windows XP Operating System Clients Only)
From the Virtual KVM Client (VKC), the key combination of Alt Gr + 7
results in the accented character displaying twice when using French
keyboards with Windows XP

clients.
Note: This does not occur with Linux
®
clients.
