--------------------------------------

             Summary: Typeable keys on Mac involving Alt do not have intended effect
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-1096
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1096
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: guacamole
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Mike Harris
             Fix For: 1.2.0


Seeking to migrate [GUAC-1519|https://jira.glyptodon.com/browse/GUAC-1519] to current bug tracker.  As the original reporter suggests, there are plenty of instances within a Windows OS (and others) where an Alt-and-key combination is desirable to move quickly on a task.

As Michael Jumper noted in that thread noted: "I think the root cause of your issue is in the difference in meaning for 'Alt' in a Mac vs. Windows ... We need to find some way to recognize when Alt is being held strictly for the sake of typing, as Ctrl+Alt may be held under Windows, and release it for the same reasons. The big question is whether that is actually possible to achieve without breaking keyboard in other cases."

Forgive me if I've done anything wrong in the filing of this bug; first time I've done it on this system.  Thanks.
