It seems to affect all applications. Cannot insert tab in text, cannot tab complete in terminal. Alt+tab, control+tab, and command+tab all still work and register with the xserver.
Has anyone seen this / solved this before?
Configuration:
OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite on a late-2008 aluminum macbook Client: X2Go Client v. 4.0.5.1 (Qt - 4.8.7) Server: Ubuntu studio, not sure what versions at the moment
Best, Michael.
This issue has been reported before <https://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.berlios.de/msg01827.html> but I did not notice a resolution in that thread. Applying the fix suggested here <http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1771058.html> did not work. This post <http://blog.zerosum42.com/2011/10/tech-fixing-tab-key-in-vnc.html> ended up being the most comprehensive review of the issue. It suggests this command to fix the tab key behavior in XFCE:
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p /xfwm4/custom/'<'Super'>'Tab -r
This worked for me.

After fixing this, I ran into a new problem with permuted or scrambled keyboard layouts.
Changing the graphics compression algorithm caused the keyboard map to become permuted. Perhaps something about making changes to a session configuration disrupts the keyboard layout?
I found a previous post with no resolution <http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2012-May/000820.html> that referenced another (now inaccessible) <https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-August/000301.html> post also with no resolution.
Per the advice on this forum post <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2033902?tstart=0> I removed they X11 keyboard configuration (sudo rm -rf /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb). This broke XQuartz. I moved the X11 folders in /usr out of the way, reinstalled XQuartz, and rebooted.
After that, X starts normally and x2go works. The keyboard map is normal.
