First of all, I have seen some threads with similar issues, and I have tried some of the suggestions to no avail. I have come up with a partial solution that is "working" but it is quite uncomfortable, so I was wondering if anyone else could shed some light on this problem.
I am connecting via Citrix to a desktop that runs Ubuntu 22.04.1 As I am used to type in a Spanish keyboard, I have changed the system language to Spanish and I have a Spanish keyboard myself. However, there are two things that I have noticed, first, that the layout for Spanish keyboard does not correspond to my Spanish keyboard layout - there are a few keys that simply do not match - and the second one which is the one that is causing me trouble is the fact that I cannot use my Alt Right key to access to 3rd level as I normally would.
As I said before I have tried a few solutions, the first one being selecting Right Alt from keyboard settings directly, but this does not work.
I read about how to change the keyboard layout to match my particular keyboard settings by doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
. This did not work either for Right Alt.
Finally, what has more or less helped was to install gnome-tweaks and in "Additional Layout Options", select under "Key to choose the 3rd level" another key - because when I select anything with "Right Alt", it simply does nothing if I am testing it in the terminal, if I test in my RStudio environment, it does a sort of "backwards tab" - I don't know how else to describe it. My gnome shell version is 42.5
My thoughts right now are that maybe I did not select the RIGHT configuration for my specific keyboard - it's a Spanish Corsair Platinum K95 if that's of any use? Or that maybe the fact that I am connecting remotely via Citrix is somewhat messing the keyboard input, because I can tab out to my desktop by doing Alt+Tab or Win+Tab
If anyone had any ideas that I might have not tried, I would be very happy to hear them.
Thanks,
