Research direction

Start with the Mouse Without Borders area and reproduce the issue using a Danish keyboard layout with AltGr+2. Compare the keyboard behavior with Mouse Without Borders enabled and disabled, then trace the input-handling entry point responsible for the missing @ character. Done means AltGr+2 produces @ while the utility is enabled.
