Test situation:

Windows 7, Standard German Keyboard (no Swiss, no IBM)

x2goclient keyboard settings "autodetect keyboard":
^ -> nothing
^^ -> h~
~ -> ~
` -> nothing
`` -> h~
´ -> nothing
´´ -> h~

So only "~" works as expected.

Now here's the funny part:
Once you click into a single SSH window belonging to CSSH, and type "^^"
there, it will become a "^" ...
and EVERY subsequent typing of "^^", "``", or "´´" will become an "^".

If you do it with "``" instead, every subsequent typing of any of those
three characters becomes an "`", and so on.

x2goclient keyboard settings "pc105 de nodeadkeys":
Works fine for every single one of those characters, just like with the
US keyboard.

Changing the keyboard to "Deutsch (IBM)" did not change a thing.
"Deutsch (IBM)" is not the same as "de-latin1-deadkeys" on Linux, though
- it merely disables shifting of the number row when capslock is pressed
(at least that is my understanding).

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
