French (azerty) key mapping problem under Windows

[srbPierre]

Hi,

In French Azerty keyboard, under Windows (only) special character like !@$&/ etc... not working ! But it works if you run the virtual keyboard ?

...

No problem on Android or IOs

... Rustdesk 1.1.9 on Windows 10

Thank for help

But we do not have Azerty keyboard. What type of keyboard mostly used in France?

[srbPierre]

this is my virtual keyboard

Under Linux

KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="fr" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle"

BACKSPACE="guess"

under Windows

Both sides are Windows?

[srbPierre]

Yes for see the problem of character. Like "!" or "@" for sample does not work "@" = ALTGR + 0

[srbPierre]

Virtual Keyb with ALTGR pressed

Both sides are Windows? @srbPierre

I can't reproduce this problem. if both sides are Windows, ALTGR + 0 will get "@". if the remote is Linux, I'm fixing this bug.

Hi, it works fine now if both sides are Windows !

Thanks !

Mmm… have to check version of rustdesk both sides. Same french keyboard ( azerty ).

Local machine is Ubuntu 22.04 / rustdesk 1.1.9

Distant machine ( remote ) is Windows 10 / rustdesk 1.1.?

If I type [ AltGr ] + [ 0 ] on the local Ubuntu machine, I expect "@" to be printed on the distant Windows machine.

It's "à" that got printed instead - same as if I'd type only [ 0 ] where this [ 0 ] is from the first line of keys ( ie. not from numeric pad. )

It is recommended to use the latest rustdesk

[Coeur-Noir]

Checking done, it's v1.1.9 on all machines. Some thing to dig about [ AltGr ] key between Linux/ubuntu and Win10 ?

With a french keyboard, when logging in Windows 10, I cannot use the "6" or "8", the displaid letter will be "as if" i did not press the shift to get my 6 or 8. I still can use the NUM pad to get a 6 or an 8, but some mini laptop (mac) do not have any NUM Pad
