@Tiki_ tested and it works, thank you very much for this workaround.

Still, 3 years (and still counting) for fixing this bug is really scary when we think about using this solution in production.

Okay so it means it's fixed in more recent noVNC versions

XO 6 will get the latest version, and XO Lite is about to be released with minimal "theme" for the end of the month.

We hope to get first XO6 for the end of the year.

First of all, I know I'm posting on an old topic and that's the point.

I built a test environment with XCP-ng last month to get familiar with this solution as a possible replacement for VMWare and stambled on the AltGr issue (french keyboard).

Asking google about it, I found this topic, and this post saying "XO Lite is about to be released" and "first XO6 for the end of the year" from... 2021.

Here we are in 2024 and the deployment I made last month is under XOA 5.92.1, and the home page of XO Lite says "XO Lite is still a beta project. The first release will come very soon."
And the bug about AltGr, acknowledged and solved in the xo lite test in 2021, is still there on the mainstream deployments.

Any update on an usable console in the mainstream deployments ?
Using a "hack" with the online version of xo lite, or deploying it manually on each host, and then having to play with different interfaces when you have to manage many hosts simply is a no-go. This bug really is a PITA when you have to use AltGr each time you need a #, a @, a pipe | in a VM console, brackets {[]} in config files, anti-slash \ for networking, etc...
