$ setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     de,us,us
variant:    ,intl,

With these settings, my “Hacker’s keyboard” on Android now works as expected, even with US layout there.

However, when I connect with a Windows NoMachine client now, the keyboard layout is always German independent of the Windows keyboard settings. So I always have to enter ‘setxkbmap us intl’ to get my preferred US international keyboard.

I have changed to German keyboard layout on Ubuntu, but: same behavior as before: key left of right shift results in ‘&’ instead of US ‘/’ or German dash.

I do not know exactly since when the behavior changed, but I am quite sure the Android keyboards worked correctly until May 2018.

No, both devices are configured to use German language.

1st device:

Samsung Galasy Note 4 (SM-N910F), stock Android 6.0.1, Keyboard App: Hacker’s Keyboard

2nd device:

Huawei M2-A01L, stock Android 5.1.1, stock keyboard

Keyboard (mis)behavior on both devices is identical.

Keyboard layouts on Ubuntu and on Android are both US.

On Android I tried several alternative keyboards including a bluetooth HW keyboard, but with no effect on the behavior.
