That's it.  :-/ I just did choose the "normal" German keyboard layout as 
ever, where I also can type in frensh accents and so on. But for this 
case it is counter productive.

I changed it in XFCE to "Deutsch ohne Akzenttasten" and now it works 
flowlessly.

Thanks for the help.

Background info: Currently I try to find a key mapping configuration for 
Hatari and EmuTOS, so that one can use a normal contemporary keyboard 
and all characters are mapped like available on the keyboard. This may 
not be of use for specific ST games, that just use the scancode, but 
maybe a good solution for all emulator users for TOS anfd GEM programs. 
Nobody wants to keep differing key mappings in mind, if not needed.

The great challenge may be, how to map AltGr key combinations, since 
this key is, at it seems, just known for the Milan and not for Atari 
machines with normal TOS. Keytbl (XBIOS) does not know of a modifyer key 
AltGr.

Maybe I could map AltGR to ST's Alternate and then use these combination 
for @{[]}\~ and |Better first i will get an overview, how "Alternate" 
normally is used on the ST.
