I found a new element after digging a bit into xdotool problems with multiple keyboard layouts.
First of all, Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian Jessie apparently ship the same version of xdotool : 1:3.20160805.1-3, which would explain why I observe the same problem as Martin. After reading some dialogs in Jordanissel/xdotool's Github (https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/issues/), I tried changing my global Keepass auto-type shortcut (CTRL-ALT-A) in Parameters/Keyboard from : mono /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe --auto-type to : /usr/bin/setxkbmap fr oss; mono /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe --auto-type (fr oss being my primary keyboard layout) It seems to solve the problem (hae yet to confirm in the long run, but for the time being that does the trick) @Martin : could you try modifying your global auto-type shortcut prepending it with somthing like '/usr/bin/setxkbmap at' or '/usr/bin/setxkbmap de' (choose the right one) and tell us ?
