Hi again,
Just shortly, once again, regarding the behaviour functionality of the
german keyboard, specifically , achieving the @ character using character
combinations:
AltGr+q, or
Ctrl+Alt+q
 Before I had entered this bug, I had (once again, wrongly.. i am new
here...) mentioned it in relation to another bug that is going around.
I felt the issue was for me, closed, and mentioned it as such that that
thread.

However, it was of at least one other persons opinion that:
"If the keyboard behaves differently under Windows and Linux, I'd consider
that as a bug. People should be able to type how they have used to. That's
what people want. And if it's not possible people consider the system as
faulty (and will stick in Windows)."

While I am happy with the solution of the correct key combination, I just
thought I would mention it, so as you can decide on your good judgement,
whether or not there are indeed grounds for further consideration of this
behaviour difference between linux and windows (regardless of if the windows
behaviour is correct or not).

As I said, I am happy as it is, and do not mind if the functionality is
provided or not. But there is at least one argument for the case. As I am
sure there are arguments against.

Kind Regards,

svaens
