Hello,

okay, that gives a hint. I used "d_pc" (PC variant of a german keyboard) 
since this one gets the "#" key right! I now tried "d" (that is the Amiga 
variant of a german keyboard) and with this one I get the «» where you 
say, but then pressing "#" again gives me a backslash (\).

We talkes about that "#" thingy and I think we concluded that if UAE 
pretents to the emulated AmigaOS that it has a Amiga keyboard not getting 
"#" right with the Amiga variant of a german keyboard should be fixed in 
UAE.

This is the keycode in question:

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
    root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 2164449, (-303,-57), root:(493,479),
    state 0x0, keycode 51 (keysym 0x23, numbersign), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "#"
