Hello Daniel, Ok, TigerVNC, added -shared=1 to behave the same as TightVNC, works greatly, Thanks ! But funny thing, I saw you were part of exchanges on that topic, noVNC totally fails now. Despite my keyboard isnt changed, debian VM is just in QWERTY as if noVNC only send keysyms. If you

Dear all, VNC == RFB - they're two different terms of the same thing. The core RFB/VNC protocol only knows about keysyms. Ok, so RFB is not the keyword to track :-( AFAIK, TightVNC doesn't support the scancode extension, only TigerVNC. Confirmed, I replaced TightVNC viewer by TigerVNC, solv

Hello Daniel, all, I am a bit confused. Ok, RFB protocol should be the solution that solves all, sending scancodes rather than doing keysyms stuff. No pb for me. So I removed my '-k fr' to my Qemu VM start as it was before. However, reading TightVNC & noVNC docs, both are able to perform RFB.

Hello Daniel, There is no mention here of what VNC client program is being used, which is quite important, as key handling is a big mess in VNC. I tested with TightVNC & noVNC through Apache. Both behaves the same. I did not tested Ultr@VNC. The default VNC protocol passes X11 keysyms over

I have a similar problem with qemu (all versions including 5.0.0) on MacOS-10.14.6 (mac book pro 2017with touch bar). Using -k fr-mac the "@"/"#" key is dead. Showkey doesn't detect the key. Moreover, the # and @ symbols are mapped on the "<" / ">" key and thus I miss the redirection operator in
