Post by Cantercrow »

Good Day,

I have Virtualbox running on Ubuntu 18 with a Windows 10 VM, the keyboard mapping on the Windows 10 is wrong and cant type and Special Characters.

In fact this has been asked and answered many times before, in fact I answered the last one just a couple of days ago:

Basically, look to the regional settings of your Windows 10 guest, and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. Google has the details.

Also: not a "Linux Hosts" question. The question concerned a Windows 10 guest, so I'll move the topic to that forum.
