"Alt Gr" key locked

kiki

I've also problem with Alt Gr key in console tab of VM.
On French keyboard, and probably on other Latin keyboard, this key is used to access to some console important characters, like @ | # or [ and ].
The first time I'm surprise, because when you normally use this key, you press and maintain it, like Shift or Ctrl, and press key, then you release it.
When you press it in XO console tab, it is locked !
To unlock it, you need 2 steps.

Press Shift then AltGr and release, this go to Caps Lock, but without indicate it.
Press Shift and release, this go back to lowercase.

I'm on XCP-ng 8.2, xo-server 5.74.0 and xo-web 5.77.0.

If this can be solve in future release that's good news
I also post for people, like me, that will be blocked with completely unusable keyboard after pressing AltGr key.

@kiki Yup. Same with Swedish keyboard layouts where you need to do Alt-gr+2 to get the '@' character. Incidentally, the console in XOA is rather useless if you need to type email addresses or user@host style things.

Same here with a German keyboard where backshlashes require using the AltGR key. With most other (especially when cascaded) remove viewers, hitting Ctr, Alt and AlgGr keys alone helps to get shift states back in order, but not here.

BTW I also noted that hitting the RDP button, didn't lauch RDP, just lost the mouse but not they keyboard, which is also rather strange.
