Hi Norbert,

can test with xev that pressing the keys you mention generates the
symbols you are trying to enter and not special characters?
If you have set locale environment to German this could 
be reason why no character is entered. 
For special symbols the following would be required in Root/Cint
#include <locale.h>
setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"");
cheers
