Hi,

Recently discovered a minor but annoying incorrect key mapping in the
VBoxHeadless VNC code.

Apparently the comma (,) is being mapped to the open-single-quote (`)
key scan code.

Since we can't confirm such problems (since we're not supposed to touch the libvnc code due to licensing concerns) - can someone else conform that the comma key isn't working?

I could not find any documentation stating that this was intentional so
I suppose that it is a bug.

I'm somewhat surprised that no one complained before, which is why I'm asking for other opinions of other users.

Attached is a patch to FramebufferVNC.cpp that fixes the key mapping.
The patch is submitted under the MIT license.  The patch is against
3.2.12_OSE version, however I confirmed the same bug is also present in
the most recent SVN version.

I am submitting the patch here on the mailing list because that seems to
be what I'm supposed to do based on the contributor information up on
virtualbox.org <http://virtualbox.org>.  If this is not OK, just let me
know where it should go and I'll repost to the appropriate place.

Yes, that's the preferred place, and your contribution is much appreciated.

Klaus


Thanks!
