How can I type the "@" symbol via remote desktop with a Swedish keyboard?

I am running Remote Desktop to connect from my iMac with Snow Leopard to a Windows box at work that runs Windows 7 Professional. The connection is done over ssh.

When logged in to the window box I can use Alt + Tab to switch between programs, I can also see that when using emacs pressing Alt registers as Meta (which is what I have set it up as). However if I want to type a @ which on my Swedish keyboard is Alt + 2 nothing happens. The same is true for { and [ and so on.


Does + alt + 2 work? This is a combination for @ in bootcamp.

For the other keys:

  • + alt + 7 to get {
  • + alt + 0 to get }
  • + alt + 8 to get [
  • + alt + 9 to get ]

Ctrl+Alt+2 did the trick for me (on Swiss German keyboard).
