"@" key not working #32

Closed alanakra closed 10 months ago

alanakra commented 1 year ago

I can't type the @ key using my machine's built-in keyboard. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem and if so, were they able to solve it?

Host Machine: MacBook Pro M1 2020 Host OS: Sonoma 14.0 virtualOS 1.3.2 (Build 13) VM OS version: Ventura 13.5.2

To narrow down possible sources of this error, could you please provide additional information:

What is your physical keyboard layout/language?
What is your host's and guest's keyboard language? -> Settings -> Keyboard -> Text Input
What is your host's and guest's system language? -> Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> Preferred Languages -> Primary

Another user reported in #7 that the @ sign is on option-q instead of option-l

My Keyboard is French (AZERTY)
Host's keyboard language: French
Guest's keyboard language: French
Host's and guest's system language: French for both

Works fine for me on both external keyboard and built-in keyboard with US English.

I figured it out! I simply opened the visual keyboard to see the layout of the keys and was surprised to see that the layout of the spots on my VM is not the same as that on the host. Here's the visual keyboard of my host machine and a physical AZERTY keyboard.

On the virtual machine, the "@" key doesn't appear directly, whereas the keyboard has the AZERTY configuration. To type the "@" key, hold down Option (⌥) and select "@", which is located next to the "Enter" key (see recording below).
