Manage AZERTY keyboard

[oli...@epidosi.fr]

Hi,

How could I use an AZERTY(french) Keyboard ? 

I tried changing keybord layout on the serveur, but number does not work.

Any idea ?

[i iordanov]

Which application are you referring to?

Thanks,

Iordan

Connecting to Windows 10?

If you are talking about a software keyboard, just adding a French AZERTY keyboard layout to your device will work just fine.

Or maybe you are referring to some external USB keyboard connected to your Android device? If so, it should still work, but I'll need more info, I have no idea what doesn't work at this point.

Actually, aRDP is user on a chromebook,  with a regular keyboard.

[i iordanov]

So what happens when you put French as the localization on your Chromebook? That should cause your Chromebook to send A keycode when you press A on your AZERTY keyboard.

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll tell you what to run some tests with.

Ultimately, it's up to your Chromebook to say to aRDP that you pressed A when you press A on your keyboard, so we have to figure out how to do that.

Cheers!

Hi,

The chromebook Keyboard is set in French (azerty)

2 options on the windows  server : 

- keyboard preferences are in french (azerty), through aRDP, type A, you will get a Q

- keyboard preferences are in english (qwerty), through aRDP, type A, you will get a A (could be an option, but numbers does not work)

[i iordanov]

Hi Olivier,

Wow, that is bizarre. Let's see if we can capture some screenshots to help us debug this.

I wrote this program a while ago to capture key and touch events so I can debug issues with strange user hardware combinations that I cannot procure myself.

https://github.com/iiordanov/ScanCodeTester/releases/download/1.6/app-release-1.6.apk

What happens when you exercise the two options that you outlined above?

> - keyboard preferences are in french (azerty), through aRDP, type A, you will get a Q

I'm looking for what happens when you hit a and q in this option.

> - keyboard preferences are in english (qwerty), through aRDP, type A, you will get a A (could be an option, but numbers does not work)

I'm looking for what happens when you git a and q but also the numbers in this option.

Cheers,

iordan

The conscious mind has only one thread of execution.

Hi Olivier,

I had some time to work on keyboard layouts with aRDP. How does the
following version I just built work for you? It uses a completely
different way to send characters over (unicode rather than vkcode):

https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/releases/download/v5.0.6/freeaRDP-v5.0.6_7-final.apk

Please let me know if there are issues with it both with hardware and
software keyboards!

Sincerely,
iordan

Dear Iordan,

I am running aRDP Pro 5.1.12_115128 on a Chromebook with a German Keyboard layout.

Connecting to Linux Servers (both Ubuntu as well as Alpine) with xfce desktops (haven't tried any other Window Manager) I always had the problem, that SHIFT-7, which should send a forward slash ("/") prints a question mark ("?") instead.

Tried "Unicode input (Windows only)" setting in RDP Pro doesn't help.

I might be something Chromebook related, as I saw the same problem when running Reminna in the Linux container on the same Chromebook. In Reminna, I could work around this by disabling "use client keyboard mapping" in the RDP settings.

But: the version you published below does indeed fix it, now the / is appearing correctly.

Hope this information is useful.

Kind regards,

  Torsten

Ah, thanks for reviving this thread, Torsten. So does the latest v5.1.2 work well for you too?

Thanks!

unfortunately not. Both 5.1.2_0 as well as 5.1.2_1 from here
https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/releases/ force
kind of a US layout, for example SHIFT-7 produces an ampersand ("&")
instead of a "/", SHIFT-8 a star "*" instead of "(" etc. But the "/"
is not reachable, even not where it would be on a US keyboard. The
behaviour is also different compared to the Pro version I've installed
from the Play Store, where only SHIFT-7 seems to be not working.

Downgrading to 5.0.6_7 and everything works again.

Have a nice sunday,

Torsten
