Accent keys issue #307

Closed jouven closed 2 years ago

jouven commented 2 years ago

Context: Client and Host are on Turbovnc 2.2.7, both on Debian unstable, both use Xfce, host has also VirtualGL 3.0 installed To connect I execute /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncviewer (checking the about window it's the java viewer)

The issue I have is that accent characters don't work (I hit the keys but nothing gets written), with or without letters, e.g., à é or just ` ´ Shift modified of the accent keys don't work either, with or without letters, ä ê or ¨ ^ AltGr modified does work [ { The rest works 1:1 (Spanish keyboard), ñ, ç, €, all the AltGr + number combinations If I use plain terminal SSH everything works

localectl status

returns:

   System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
                  LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: es
       X11 Model: pc105

For client and host (executing the command from Turbovnc or just plain SSH)

Duplicate of https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/194. In my opinion, the most expedient way to resolve these issues with dead keys/accent keys is to complete https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/108, but I need funding for that.

Worked around via the implementation of #108, which is now available in the dev/3.1 evolving pre-release build. Please test thoroughly. (You need to use both the server and viewer from the pre-release build in order to activate the feature.)
