I could not figure out how to type an @-symbol.
So I typed it in TextEdit.app and copied it. In Steam I did a right click in the textbox and pasted from there since paste from the menu does not work.

I hope that helps others with the same problem.

You should also be able to type ctrl-v to paste. Windows shortcuts work in CrossOver programs, not your operating system's shortcuts.

With the Mac German keyboard layout, you type @ using Option-l (lowercase L). Within CrossOver, we have a dilemma about what to do with the Option key. On the one hand, you might want to use it to access additional characters like @. On the other hand, you might want to send the Alt keypress to the Windows program. CrossOver provides a preference setting so you can decide how the Option key should behave. On Macs with two Option keys, you can configure each key independently. By default, CrossOver sends Alt to the Windows program when you press the left Option key and accesses additional characters using the right Option key (so it behaves like the Alt.Gr. key that's common on some non-U.S. keyboards).

So, you should be able to type @ using right-Option-l. Or, you can change the preferences to work however you prefer.
