Translate local keyboard input to the target machine's layout

Open db39 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

When your target machine uses a different keyboard layout to your client machine, it can be confusing to type a character only to end up with the incorrect input on the target machine.

Would it be possible to create a translation layer that allows users to specify the target machine's keyboard layout so that TinyPilot can map the keyboard input accordingly?

Yeah, this should be doable. We likely couldn't support every possible keyboard layout, but maybe we could support translations for common pairings.
