Category: FLTK viewer Group: trunk Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Werner B. (werner-b) Assigned to: Pierre Ossman (ossman_) Summary: Control keys do not work in viewer Initial Comment: I found that control keys do not work in current vnc viewer (1.1.90/1.2 beta 1): (e.g. Ctrl-C in xterm (linux / mac os) or cmd.exe (windows), Ctrl-U / Ctrl-D for page up/down in vi etc.) This worked fine in tiger vnc 1.1.0 but is broken in 1.1.90. In Viewport.cxx, the function Viewport::translateKeyEvent tries to also translate control key codes which leads to some strange key symbols. I have added these 3 lines of code to Viewport.xyy line 728: } new=> // Do not try to translate control keys new=> if(strlen(keyText) == 1 && *keyText < 32) new=> return keyCode; ucs = fl_utf8decode(keyText, NULL, NULL); return ucs2keysym(ucs); } This detects control key codes and prevents UTF8 decode for control key symbols. I think this is a major issue, because you cannot remote administrate a computer via command line (e.g. in xterm) with vnc if the control keys are not working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126848&aid=3466037&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
