I use a custom keyboard layout based on Colemak but with a modified bottom row. With rdesktop, it would pass all my key presses through as characters so my layout worked without modification, but since krdc has started using xfreerdp instead of rdesktop, my custom keyboard layout is not supported. Even Colemak will not be supported until xfreerdp-1.1 series but that doesn't quite solve my problem. I know this should really be a feature request in xfreerdp but was hoping for an option in krdc to select the old rdesktop plugin instead of being forced to use xfreerdp. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure KDE to use Colemak or a custom keyboard layout 2. Connect to a Windows RDP server Actual Results: Keyboard layout defaults to US qwerty Expected Results: Prior versions did not modify the keyboard layout NOTE this is not related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323220
I see your problem, but I cannot provide a perfect solution atm. Can't you use a layout which is similar to yours? Do you know if there is already a feature request existing for xfreerdp? Please post the link here. If not, please open a feature request. The old FreeRDP plugin is not a real option (would need quite a lot of work to get them working in parallel).
I'm wondering if it works you don't pass the kbd option to freerdp Try to run this( replace USERNAME by your login name, and SERVER by the remote desktop url) xfreerdp -decorations /w:1280 /h:768 /u:USERNAME /bpp:24 /audio-mode: 0 /sound:sys:pulse /network:lan /rfx /cert-ignore +clipboard /port:3389 /v:SERVER
