Description Kai 2024-02-29 19:28:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
Only when the local keyboard layout is set to English (US) the keys are transmitted almost correctly.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set local keyboard layout to something different then English (US). In my case German.
2. Connect to a remote with VNC.
3. Try to type any special characters.

OBSERVED RESULT
1. When the local and remote keymap is set to German:
    "@" -> "²", "&" -> "/", "-" -> "ß", "_" -> "?", "|" -> "’"
2. When the local keymap is set to German and the remote keymap to English (US):
    "@" -> "2", "&" -> "&", "-" -> "-", "_" -> "_", "|" -> "\"
3. When the local and remote keymap is set to English (US):
    seems to work fine
4. When the local keymap is set to English (US) and the remote keymap to German:
    almost correct. like typing on a German keyboard

EXPECTED RESULT
Keyboard input should be transmitted correctly.
