Fwd: ctrl-alt-2 as at (@)

[Knut Olav Bøhmer]

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for the suggestion. I this now, and it did not work.
I did get some warnings but I suspect they are not relevant.
The warnings was:
Warning:          No symbols defined for <AB11> (keycode 97)
(and repeted for the following symbols:
<JPCM>,<I120>,<AE13>,<I149>,<I154>,<I168>,<I178>,<I183>,<I184>,<FK19>,<FK24>,<I217>,<I219>,<I221>,<I222>,<I230>,<I247>,<I248>,<I249>,<I250>,<I251>,<I252>,<I253>)


Best regards
Knut
