I have a server running Ubuntu 18.04, xrdp and xfce window manager. When I connect from a Windows Client, everything works as expected.
Now I want to connect to the same host from my MacBook using the Microsoft Remote Desktop App. After connecting, the server determines correctly, that I am using a german keyboard. Typing umlauts (äöü) works as expected. But any special character, where the alt key is used, does not work. These include [, ], {, }, @, \
On my MacBook the keys are:
- [ -> alt + 5
- ] -> alt + 6
- { -> alt + 7
- } -> alt + 8
- @ -> alt + L
- \ -> alt + shift + 7
How do I get those on my remote computer?
Things I already did:
- I verified that the keymap 0407 (german) is used. Works on Windows client
- I tried the Ctrl + Alt + Q which gives you an @ on Windows/Linux with no success.

- Mac -> Windows Remote Desktop Keyboard [German Layout] -> This one has a windows host as a remote. When I connect from the MacBook to a Windows host, the Windows version of those keys (Ctrl + Alt + Q for @) works; not so on the Ubuntu host
