darrenyorston Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Hey guys..just did the upgrade to 6.8.1 and have started getting a keyboard problem using VNC to a VM. The shift + function doesn't appear to be working. The VM is Windows 10. I did an install of Windows 10 a few days ago, before I did the unRAID upgrade, and didnt have the problem. Any ideas whats happened? The keyboard is working fine when directly passed through to a VM, just VNC isnt working correctly. I have also tried Linux distros and have the same issue.

darrenyorston Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) So I have been doing some testing and it seems to be that VNC doesn't like non-104 key keyboards. Is anyone using a 65 or 75% keyboard and encountered a problem with key mapping when using VNC? I know it did work as I have some VMs which didnt have GPU passthrough and there hasn't been a problem before. I have rolled back the unRAID update and am getting the same problem. I have tried two other keyboards and none of the shift + number functions are working in VNC. Shift + letter still changes to caps. One kb is a full size Razer and the other two are 65% and a 10 keyless kb. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Edited January 14, 2020 by darrenyorston Update from testing Quote Link to comment
darrenyorston Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Anybody having an issue with shift + keys not working using VNC? I can change between caps and lowercase using shift but I cant add any of the special characters. I have tried from different PCs using different browsers but none of my keyboards will use special characters in VNC. They work fine if USB is passed though. I have tried a standard 104 kb as well as a 10 keyless and a 65%. Quote Link to comment
darrenyorston Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I anyone experiencing an issue with special characters not working in VNC? I have been able to work out that if I connect to a VM from a physical machine with VNC that shift + characters work correctly. However, if I connect to a VM from a different VM that shift + characters do not work. This is only a recent development as I have been able to work with VMs quite fine previously.

Newfiemeister Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I am experiencing the same issue with the shift key not working with special characters in VNC. Shift + o = O but shift + ; = ; (not : as expected). This occurred when creating a VM and trying to ssh into the node from a standard shell, not the VNC session. Any resolution to this?
