Hi,
After I made the changes you mentioned, I've compiled the server and
replaced the .war file with the new client. After a reconnect, I could
type the ~ again. I didn't even had to restart guacd, that was interesting.
While doing so, I also upgraded to guacamole 1.2 simultaneously.
Thank you very much for your help!
Best Regards

Hello all,
Hi!
I'm running guacamole-1.1.0, both client and server on the same
machine. The remote computer I connect to is a Hyper-V VM running
Xubuntu 20.04 x86_64 Linux 5.4.0-42-generic.
In the guacamole connection properties, I have selected the keyboard
layout for this connection German (Qwertz).
In the VM, I also selected the german keyboard. I connect via RDP
and also selected the
0x0407 de German (Germany)
layout in XRDP.
Now, whenever I want to write the tilde character (the upper key on
the left side of enter), I press ALTGR + TILDE and and the result is
'\ ', a backslash with a space. But it should write ~ instead.
I had pretty much the same issue. The difference was that it
completely screwed up typing on my side.
I also have tried various keyboard layouts already. It seems nothing
works. It also does not work on Windows machines as well. It also
does not work either in Chrome or Firefox.
It's pretty annoying because I can't navigate into my home directory
using a command line without using google to search for the tilde
character, copy it and paste it into my terminal window.
It would be nice if someone maybe knows what I'm doing wrong.
You are not doing anything wrong, but you might need to build your own
guacd.
The tilde and some other stuff are defined in the keymap of
guacamole-server and are marked dead keys and are imported at compile
time.
Before building the guacamole-server, I deleted the "dead keys"
section from the keymap and added:
map +altgr -shift 0x1B ~ "~"
to the section "Keys requiring AltGr"
You can find the keymap in the unpacked source package:
guacamole-server-1.1.0/src/protocols/rdp/keymaps/de_de_qwertz.keymap
Once you rebuild and start the guacd, the tilde will work. At least it
works in my setup. :)
