The special characters beyond the "Shift" level don't work the same way in Linux as they do in macOS.

In the Kinto options you need to enable the "Alt_Gr on Right Cmd" option. Then in your Linux desktop environment you may be able to use the right-side Alt key (only the right side, not the left side) as the "ISO level 3 Shift" key. Depending on the desktop environment this special key may need to be first enabled in the keyboard settings panel.

If you can get to where the keyboard settings will show you a keyboard viewer or "preview" of the keyboard layout, these special characters are the 3rd character on the key, and adding regular "Shift" will get the 4th character above it.

The key symbols are ordered like this on each key in a keyboard layout that has special extra characters:

2nd  4th

1st  3rd

1st: Regular character (no modifier key)
2nd: Shifted character
3rd: Alt_Gr character
4th: Shift+Alt_Gr character

Some layouts even have a 5th level character.

The character I see on the main Spanish layout for Shift+Alt_Gr (4th level) is the 1/8 fraction character. Below that on the 3rd level is the "@" symbol. So you need to press the Alt_Gr key to get to it. The left side Alt key will not become Alt_Gr. This may be awkward if you're used to using the left side Option/Alt key in macOS. There is no fix for this. Linux is just different.

The main thing you need to remember to do is enable the option in Kinto's menu to allow the right-side Alt key to become Alt_Gr instead of a virtualized Cmd key. (It will no longer be a Cmd key equivalent.)

I hope most of this made sense and was helpful.

i can't belive it, i tried activating AltGr on Right Cmd, at that point my keyboard didnt work properly on windows mode, just apple mode and uninstalling kinto, now everythong works!, i supose it was booting with apple mode what made the change.

nop, totally replaces cmd for control
