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.
Since these explanations, I replayed a bit:
Under my testing Debian 10, I redefined keyboard to French + No
compose key + AltGr as CTRL_R
Under noVNC: Ctrl_R works well as alternative but when using AltGr, I
received 29+100+7 (AltGr + 6) and keep displaying a minus as with
AltGr was not pressed.
Under TightVNC (2.7.10) : Ctrl_R displays characters, I am still in
QWERTY for letters, weird mapping for other characters, did not
checked if compliant with whatever definition.
Under TightVNC (last 2.8.27, supposed to be able to RFB): Ctrl_R
displays nothing, keys are QWERTY. Seems the same as TightVNC 2.7.10.
With the keyboard defining AltGr as AltGr, no change.
I realize that AltGr is sending 29+100 (seen via showkey), when
CTRL_R only sends 97.
When using a remote console (iLo and iDRAC), AltGr only sends 100.
I wonder if the issue would not also be the fact AltGr sends 2 codes,
still another one to select the character key (6 for example).
Is that normal Qemu is transforming AltGr (100) in 29+100 ?
Thanks
Brgrds
