RE: Serious problems with writing @

[Peron, Stéphane]

ok, I have checked with xev too and I saw alt_r has "Mode_switch" code wih
my keyboard.

So I have launched KeyPrefs.app, clicked on default to get default
configuration and then, have chosen "Mode_Switch" for GSSecondeCommandKey
and saved.
And from now all works well.

So, thanks Nicola... :-)
