Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-1936:
----------------------------------------
The keyboard layout for the connection and the keyboard layout within the
remote desktop must match for Guacamole to be able to supply the RDP server
with the correct events. If you connect to an RDP connection and then
subsequently change the keyboard layout inside that RDP connection, Guacamole
cannot know that you have done this and continues expecting that the remote
keyboard layout is as originally set for the remote desktop session. It
continues sending scancodes that would be correct for the original keyboard
layout, but are no longer correct for the new layout.
See: https://guacamole.apache.org/faq/#does-guacamole-support-my-keyboard-layout
You don't typically need to set the keyboard layout within the RDP session, as
Guacamole will automatically translate key presses that are missing from the
RDP layout into Unicode events, allowing typing to work consistently regardless
of the remote layout.
If you wish to use a Finnish keyboard to type in Guacamole, you need to:
# Set the Finnish keyboard _on the client machine only_.
# Change nothing on the RDP server.
# Change nothing in the RDP connection settings.
... and that's it. Guacamole will automatically translate the key events as
long as you don't touch the _remote_ keyboard layout after connecting.
