Keyboard mapping issues with Windows Remote Desktop and SSH login helpers
Hi All,
I have just installed Build 6903 on a nice fresh server and am having a few problems with auto login. The first is that the putty and "remote desktop" login helpers are not proposed. I am guessing that this also will mean that any helpers I add will also be ignored (although I must admit to not having tried). But this is less important for the moment. The main issue that I have is that the login helpers that I can access have keyboard mapping issues.
First here is a picture of my German Macbook Pro keyboard for reference.
In the Windows Remote Desktop app, some keys are simply dead (ß + # - and < keys to be specific) although you can get those characters by typing a ^ or ´ character first, but you need to delete the extra character. Also the z and y keys are reversed. Lastly it is impossible to get a \ character (normally shift alt 7).
In the SSH app, things are better and only the backslash is an issue. Here though, pasting is not possible.
BTW: I have also tested with a German PC and found things to be as bad (if not worse). Also, it seems to be different from browser to browser. So, if I could choose which to get working I would say Firefox v25 or Chrome.
Any thoughts as to how I can get my keyboard mapped correctly?
Regards,
Eric.
PS: I have noticed that the PMP Bookmarklet does not work with all web sites, but I somewhat expected it to work on this forum. Perhaps I am missing something.
