Cant type in my virtualbox machine

[slenerim]

well i'm connected to my windows server through my local PC and within that server, i'm trying
to create a virtual machine, but i can't type anything, only if i keep holding 'AltGR' key,
currently i need to set a password for my windows OS and i can't because i won't meet the requirements
and need to use symbols, and while holding 'Alt GR' i can only use small caps letters.

is there a way to fix this? also for some reason my 'E' is switched with 'Z'

Sounds like a problem with the language settings that need to be sorted out.

i actually changed the language from french to english because my server OS was in french

But you are presumably using a Keyboard with a layout that does not match the language selection and need to examine the layout differences, which will show why your problems are arising and which keys need to be substituted. Or use an on-screen keyboard or a physical keyboard which matches the selected language.

is there a way to match the virtualbox keyboard with my server?

There is no such thing as a VirtualBox Keyboard and your 'problem' is nothing to do with VirtualBox. It's all down to the Operating System you are using, i.e. Windows.

What is the meaning of "connecting to the server from the local PC" ? Are you using an RDP server? Can you take one or two variables out of the equation? Or switch to US keyboard until you figure out who's problem it it?

Have you checked what your hostkey is mapped to? I had the same problem and my host-key was mapped to right-alt... remapped it to right windows and now Alt gr works as expected.
