Call for testers: AltGr on Windows hosts
Posted: 7. Nov 2014, 09:39
Passing the AltGr key through from Windows hosts to virtual machines has always been somewhat problematic. I have been working on this and hope that it is now solved in VirtualBox. This is a call for people to test a build containing the fix to be sure that it hasn't broken anything for anyone. Basically testing involves checking that keyboard input to virtual machines (particularly left control right alt/AltGr) works as usual after installing the test build<1>, and that selecting key combinations in the host combination editor works too, for combinations
involving left control and right alt/AltGr and others. I am interested in testing for host layouts with and without AltGr, different versions of Windows, and of course different host set-ups with different sets of installed software, as some of the problem cases in the past have been where some other piece of software interfered with our keyboard handling.
Thank you!
