Apparently, it allows one to remap keys at will. Well, better late than never. Looking at some issue threads while also trying things out and failing (a lot), those are the two lines that fixed the issue. It looks like it makes no sense (if anything, I expected

, I have to pressRALT+a
. It does work on the host, but it doesn't on the client. When I toggle the right alt manually (via on-screen keyboard), it works as expected.I would suspect that Windows uses another keycode for RALT than Linux, and it simply ignores whatever is being sent.
