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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Werner B. (werner-b) Date: 2011-12-28 02:39 Message: FYI: I removed my "fix" and recompiled with USE_INCLUDED_FLTK=1. This does not help. DCommander: Can you confirm that (e.g.) Ctrl-C does not work with current beta build? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: D. R. Commander (dcommander) Date: 2011-12-27 16:55 Message: All of my build scripts set USE_INCLUDED_FLTK=1, so that can't be the issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Pierre Ossman (ossman_) Date: 2011-12-27 05:07 Message: Sounds like something went wrong with the build. This is the behaviour of an unmodified FLTK. But we have patches that make FLTK behave more sanely with Ctrl combinations. DRC, could you double check that you didn't get the system version of FLTK? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126848&aid=3466037&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
