Following are limitations to specific keyboards and hot key
combinations:

Hot Key
Combination

Description

Alt Gr

Because of a limitation in the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), Fedora, Linux, and Solaris
clients receive an invalid response from Alt Gr
on United Kingdom and US International
language keyboards.

Fedora, Linux, and Solaris do not pick up events
for the Alt Gr key combination for Java 1.4.2 or
1.5. Java 1.6 appears to improve on this, although
the keyPressed and keyReleased events for Alt
Gr still identify it as an “unknown key code”.

Further, a key pressed in combination with Alt
Gr (such as on the UK keyboard Alt Gr-4, which
is the Euro symbol), will only generate a
keyTyped followed by a keyReleased event for
that value without a keyPressed event. Java 1.6
improves upon this by filling in the keyPressed
event as well.

Alt+SysRq+[key]

Since the SysRq keyboard stroke is used by some
operating systems as a print shortcut, the Alt +
SysRq + [key] combination is supported only as a
macro when using DKX with RRC and MPC to a
Linux target.

Common Hot Key Combinations for RRC

The following common hot key combinations are not sent to the target
system:
