When Actual Windows Manager is running I can not type @ (at-sign).
As soon as I exit AWM I can type @ to my heart's content.
This started recently and I didn't use to have any problems before.
I have upgraded to DOpus 13, running the beta-version which (otherwise?) co-exist nicely with AWM.
I don't have any reason to believe that DOpus is at fault here, but just in case...
If I exit AWM and keep running DOpus @-key works.
If I exit DOpus and keep running AWM @-key does not work.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem while still being able to use AWM?
Specifications:
Windows 10 64-bit
Actual Windows Manager 8.15
OS language: UK
Region: DK
Keyboard: DK (the @-key is reachable through ALT GR + 2)
Directory Opus 13.3.5 (Beta) Build 8830 x64

Hello, Vargr
Thank you for contacting us.
Do you mean that the problem started right after the DOpus update?
Do other special symbols you can reach via "AltGr +" combination work or do they not work either?
Could you send us your Actual Window Manager configuration files using the Send to Tech Support tool (AWM configuration module > Tools > Configuration > Send to Tech Support)? Add a link to this topic in the email.
Best regards.

I have Actual Windows Manager and D'Opus 13 (not beta) running with Win 10.
I have no problem with typing the at symbol (@) with and without AWM or D'Opus 13.
Hope this helps.
(So far, no clash between AWM and D'Opus.)

Sorry for the late reply.
I am not sure if it started with the upd ate of DOpus but it was around that time. I mentioned it because DOpus and AWM clashed. It was later solved when DOpus pushed out an update addressing this problem.
The AT-sign (located on ALT GR + 2) and the pound-sign (located on ALT GR + 3) does not work. The $ (located on ALT GR + 4) works, as well as {[]}|\~. This is using a DK-keyboard with the region se t to DK.
I have sent the configuration file as requested.
Thank you for looking into this.

Vargr,
Could you disable the hotkeys for both Desktop Divider layouts and see whether the problem stops (Configuration module > Layout and Snap > Desktop Divider > Tile Layouts > "Enable Hotkey" option for each layout). Let us know the results.

Oh, that was the culprit.
I wasn't aware that Windows sees CTRL+ALT as ALT GR. Then it all makes sense.
Since this is how Windows interpretates the keyboard there seems to be nothing wrong with AWM - I simply have to find different short cuts.
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!
For those interested, Wikipedia has this to say about it:
Ctrl+Alt
Windows interprets Ctrl+Alt as AltGr, to accommodate some compact keyboards like those of netbooks which have neither the AltGr key nor a right-hand Alt key. Thus Ctrl+Alt+a has the same effect as AltGr+a. Because of this feature, Microsoft advises that Ctrl+Alt not be used as part of any application keyboard shortcut, as it would prevent typing the matching AltGr character on such keyboards.[6][a]
