Not all keyboard events passed [Asus Transformer/physical USB keyboards] #248

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open xev on Ubuntu after VNC connection
2. Press one of: left Ctrl, right Ctrl, "Alt Gr/Alt" (an Asus thing), Tab, and 
the British pound symbol on the physical keyboard.
3. Event is not registered in xev.

What is the expected output? 

A keyboard keypress being shown, as happens with all other characters.

What do you see instead?

No event is registered for the mentioned keypress. 

These keys work on local (non-VNCed) apps (for the record :)) and Wyse 
Pocketcloud passes at least the left Ctrl keypress to the server, so it isn't a 
server issue I think.

I assume this is because the app input layer was coded assuming that the 
keyboards would always be somewhat limited. I'd like to help fix this, and I am 
very willing to test for you.

What version of android-vnc-viewer are you using?

0.5.0, downloaded from the market.

Which VNC server/version are you using?  On which platform?

Tightvnc-1.3.9, Ubuntu

What is the size of the desktop you are trying to access (i.e. 1024x768,
1920x1080...)?

1280*750

What device are you using?

Asus Transformer (Android 3.1)

Are you using a custom ROM?  If so, which?

No.

Please provide any additional information below.
