For some odd reason WMware products hijack the AltGy-key despite I make sure that other keys are used as hot keys to release mouse and keyboard from the virtual machine.
While this is not a problem for US keyboards, european however who extensively use AltGR for characters such as pipe (|), at-sign (@), left brace ({) and right brace (}).
This seem to happen both in Windows and Linux and I can not seem to find a solution that works for both. :(
Anyone have an idea how to fix this without the need to modify the guest OS every time?
Thank you.
