Backslash not working
The two AltGr keys right next to the 0 are not working, the first one, the backslash is pretty handy... When I run On-Screen Keyboard (osk.exe) to reveal the keyboard it looks the same. It also presumes pressing AltGr and the key to the right of the 0 should produce a backslash... but nothing. So not with the On-Screen Keyboard and not with the keyboard.
All the rest of the keys, Shift, AltGr combinations work fine. The only way I can make it work is to switch to the US keyboard, start On-Screen Keyboard, click the slash and switch back to the Dutch keyboard (for every slash).
So I went through diverse keyboard setups but nothing. Is it something stupid?
Platform:
- Windows 7
- ThinkPad T60
- Dutch keyboard

Do other keys that require pressingAltGrwork, or is it with every combination? Does it work when you pressCtrl+Altinstead ofAltGr?

no Ctrl+Alt . All other keys work as stated. However... I read some more and I AM working on a remote desktop connection. I read an MSDN article that the top right keys are not available during an RDP session.... so.......... I only have my workaround by constantly switching...
