I installed the Gnome Web browser and like it very much. But I have a little problem with writing the “@” sign. On the German keyboard I have to use the right “Alt-key” together with the letter “q”. But this does not work in Gnome Web. The right Alt-key seems to have no function there.
In Webpositive the “@” works as expected. This issue is only in Gnome Web.
This is a really minor problem, I know. But I am interested to know what happened here. Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks a lot!
Does anyone know this issue is being worked on? The “workaround” of copying the att-sign from another text field is getting old really quick.
Gnome Web is imho the most compatible and complete browser for Haiku atm…
No.
Gnome web uses a fake wayland server as a compatibility layer that does not properly match Haikus keymaps. Maybe that can be fixed, but that is one of many problems caused by this less-than-native port ; )
The problems are tracked in this issue: Incorrect keymap handling · Issue #3 · X547/wayland-server · GitHub
Presumably that’s also why Web doesn’t interact with the Haiku clipboard?
Found out today that switching Desktop with the arrow keys seems to break copy/paste, when using Alt+Fn copy/paste works?
That would be Falkon, have you tried it?
I use that too, but it has a tendency to crash a bit too often…
