Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-469:
------------------------------------------

Shift and Caps-Lock are equivalent when you type English, but on some languages
(for example Persian) the effect is not the same. When Caps-Lock is turned on,
nothing happens but when you hold shift and type the character changes.

This helps, but can you be yet more specific? What character(s) specifically?
It's also worth noting that part of the keyboard translation specific to RDP
involves pressing/releasing modifiers as necessary to type the key which was
pressed on the local side. If the issue you're having is that typing Persian is
not working as expected, the solution is likely to add the Persian layout to
RDP, not to change the modifier translation behavior. If you're setting the
keyboard layout for your RDP connection differently from the keyboard layout of
the RDP server, that could easily cause translation issues like what you
describe.
Also keep in mind that Guacamole will automatically use Unicode events to input
characters not found within the remote keyboard layout. If you need to type in
a language which Guacamole does not currently support via RDP keyboard layouts,
it's better to just set both the connection and the RDP server to a layout that
is supported, even US English. Other characters should still work via Unicode
events.
The other protocols supported by Guacamole (VNC, SSH, telnet) are independent
of keyboard layout and should work without issue. Only RDP requires this
translation scheme.

> Key: GUACAMOLE-469
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-469
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: RDP
> Affects Versions: 0.9.12-incubating
> Reporter: Abolfazl Kazemi
> Priority: Minor
>
> If you turn on Caps-Lock and open on-screen keyboard you see that as you
> type, some extra shift is also pressed (without you manually press it)
> This behavior causes problems in a lot of cases for example when typing none
> English characters.
> There are also some problems with sending CTRL key for example in bash
> scripts.
> Thanks.
