hi :slight_smile:

am i alone having problems with “i” and “;” keys ?? :-/

mac os x 10.4 and french keyboard on both sides
there is not the problem with mac os x 10.5 or US keyboard

International keyboard support is tricky; you’re probably seeing a side effect of that.

ok, well, will you able to correct it ?

first, do you succeed in reproduce it ?
that was the pb the last time i reported that

btw,
when i control a computer remotely, i don’t care about the local keyboard, since i don’t use it …
isn’t it possible to just jump over it ?

for examble i’m surprised when the local user let the capital key locked
(hopefully i can reset it with reboot)

I recompile VNCBundle.m wit ha keycode range of 255 insteand of 127 (line 91 and 138 in loadkeyboard) , and know it works !
even control keys and so on !

nice :slight_smile:

i like understand what happens,

so, have you any idea about why “i” and “;” were affected by this range of 127 instead of 255, but not the other basic keys ?
since usually this kind of thing affects accentuated characters only

are you sure of what you wrote ?
with mac os x 10.4 and french keyboard on both sides ?

i asked a friend to compile it for me because i don’t know compile it,
and he asked me to make tests because he hasn’t time,

but there is absolutely no difference with the beta version :frowning:

yes I am sure !
it’s in VNCBundle.m

the effect of changing the range is that’s some keycode are out of the default 0-127 range ! (don’t know why, jsut found it in debugging this code part )

note: my tests are with :
french keyboard on mac, french keyboard on the linux vnc viewer …

in that case, i don’t understand why there is not the problem on 10.5 …

and what about the beta from JonathanOSX ?

for me it doesn’t resolve the problem

neither with
Mac OS X 10.4.11 / Chicken of the VNC
and a classic connexion,
nor with
Mac OS X 10.4.11 / virtualbox / ubuntu / wine / client from ultravnc in listen mode
and a reverse connexion, made with this applescript :
http://www.portparallele.com/ThomasDECONTES/wp-content/uploads/assistance.zip

which client do you use exactly ?

could you test my script to see if you still don’t have any problem with exactly the same option than i use, please ? :slight_smile:
