Hello, I didn't find any post on this issue so I thought this might be useful for somebody strugling with the keypad numbers not being recognized correctly on the server side.
I noticed the keypad numbers (with num lock on) were recognized as regular numerical keys (on the top row of the keyboard) on the server side. I checked this with 'xev'. This is not an issue in most cases but for example with Blender there is a difference between the numerical keys and numpad keys. I was able to fix this issue by opening 'Onboard' (on-screen-keyboard) in VNC session on Mate desktop. By first inserting some keypad number with the 'Onboard' (with num lock on) the keypad keys entered from the client side physical keyboard were recognized correctly as KP_X keys. The keypad keys were recognized correctly even after server side reboot. The same behaviour was observed with four different systems with Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. The Mate desktop environment and lightdm was used in all cases. All the keyboards used in the testing had Finnish layout but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this issue. The viewer was the non-Java Windows version and the TurboVNC server version was 2.2.3. Great software regardless of this issue. -Kimmo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboVNC User Discussion/Support" group.
