French Keyboard

Caret Symbol (Linux Clients Only)

The Virtual KVM Client and the Multi-Platform Client (MPC) do not
process the key combination of Alt Gr + 9 as the caret symbol (^) when
using French keyboards with Linux clients.

To obtain the caret symbol:

From a French keyboard, press the ^ key (to the right of the P key), then
immediately press the space bar.

Alternatively, create a macro consisting of the following commands:

1. Press Right Alt

2. Press

9.

3. Release

9.

4. Release Right Alt.

Note: These procedures do not apply to the circumflex accent (above
vowels). In all cases, the ^ key (to the right of the P key) works on French
keyboards to create the circumflex accent when used in combination with
another character.

Accent Symbol (Windows XP Clients Only)

From the Virtual KVM Client and the Multi-Platform Client, the key
combination of Alt Gr + 7 results in the accented character displaying
twice when using French keyboards with Windows XP clients.

Note: This does not occur with Linux clients.

Numeric Keypad

From the Virtual KVM Client and the Multi-Platform Client, the numeric
keypad symbols display as follows when using a French keyboard:
