Hi everyone

I’m sure this must have been raised before but I am struggling to find any 
recent documentation for this issue.

We have ACS 4.15.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 for mgmt. and KVM hosts and I am seeing an 
issue where if I use the console proxy VNC viewer on any of my Windows based 
instances – certain characters are mapped incorrectly

For example if I put the following characters into the clipboard :

“@|

And then ‘send’ them into a notepad file on the guest – they map to the 
following characters :
@”#

However if I type the characters directly into the open notepad file on the 
guest – they do type correctly.
So it appears that the console proxy VNC viewer clipboard is translating the 
characters as ‘US’ keyboard rather than ‘UK’ keyboard.

I have been reading this thread about CPVM non US keyboard support but it seems 
out of date now : 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Support+for+non-US+keyboards+in+Console+Proxy

I’m sure there will be a straight forward fix for this issue – as at the mment 
we have to be careful about what characters we use in passwords – etc as they 
currently are pasting incorrectly using the vnc viewer clipboard.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
