typing on native language in remote screen

Post by adarsops »

While using UltraVNC Viewer, i can type on a remote host on English - but 'm unable to type anything after switching to native keyboard layout (Russian, in my case). It just won't type.
How can i fix this? Because you can imagine how inconvenient it is to control a remote machine, without even being able to type in a user-name, or anything else local language related.

Any suggestions?

when you connect the keyboard layout should be the same (при подключении раскладка клавиатуры должна быть одинаковая), для удаленный пк я использую ChunkVNC+ скрипт https://toster.ru/q/294024

Thanks for a reply, Bedazzled.
But this doen't seem to work. I set remote layout to RU, connect to this machine with RU layout set - and still i'm unable to type on russian - only when i switch to EN on client machine, i start to type on english.

ChunkVNC - yes, thanks, quite a handy project. I may even switch to it eventually - the hosts list, which is regretfully absent in original UltraVNC, is especially helpful.

Oh, now i get it. I should set the DEFAULT layout in host to EN, and then i can type on EN and RU there.
But how awfully inconvenient that is - connecting to host, changing the default layout to EN, reconnecting again, doing your stuff, changing default layout back to RU. Every time...

japanese or alternate keyboard (vnc viewer option) is another method for sending the keydata.
