Hi guys,

I am confused about the keyboard settings and how they work.
I am currently in Germany and have a German keyboard in front of me. For
the Windows server I am accessing via RDP, I have set the Windows keyboard
layout to English and everything works as on a normal English setting. If I
now set the Guacamole layout to English as well, it works as if I had a
German keyboard. If I just set the guacamole layout to English and the
windows to German, it works like an English keyboard.
By the way, if you set everything to German, it works like a normal German
keyboard.
On the other hand, if I try it with French layouts, it has the same effect
as the English ones.

Now to my question: is this a desired behaviour?
Can I change the Guacamole keyboard layout during a connection?
Does the virtual Guac keyboard not change depending on the layout you
choose?
Does Guacamole translate keystrokes depending on the keyboard I select? For
example, if I press "z" on my German keyboard, will Guacamole translate the
keysym code to "y"?

I hope you understand my confusion and can answer some of my questions.

PS: I hoped that If I select the virtual keyboard, the key I press appears
at the target system, independent of the settings there, but I dont know if
this is possible.

best
