Keyboard Issues
in progress
J Sherwani (Screen Team)
We just pushed out a significant update that should fix a number of keyboard issues on Mac, Windows and Linux! You should get auto-updated, but if not:
Mac/Windows: Settings > scroll down to see if there’s an update
Linux: snap refresh screen or update via Debian
If something doesn’t work, please comment below with the following information:
1) OS & keyboard language of the screen share host
2) OS & keyboard language of the screen share guest
3) Key combination pressed (e.g. Opt-Shift-2)
4) Expected outcome (e.g. €)
5) Actual outcome (e.g. @)
Thanks!

This one is the other way around:
1) Windows 10, Japanese keyboard
2) Windows 10, US keyboard
3)
`-=[]\;',./
Shift and `1234567890-=[]\;',./
4)
`-=[]\;',./
~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?
5)
@--[]\;7,./
~!`#$%~&
()_+{}|
"<>?The attached photo is the physical US keyboard of the guest.

This is less important than the Kanji key issue (see below) but anyway:
1) Windows 10, US keyboard
2) Windows 10, Japanese keyboard
3)
-^\@[;:],./\
Shift and 1234567890-^\@[;:],./\
4)
-^\@[;:],./\
!"#$%&'() =~|`{+*}<>?_
5)
-6\2[;;],./\
!"#$%&"() +~|~{+*}<>?_
Above, the spaces after ")" mean "no output at all".
See the attached photo for the physical Japanese keyboard of the guest.

1) Windows 10 (latest update) and Japanese keyboard
2) same
3) the "Kanji" key (left to "1" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_input_method#/media/File:Surface_type_cover_JIS_keyboard_layout_blue.jpg )
4) Toggling the IME mode (default on Japanese Windows, though it can be changed and worked around)
5) nothing happens at all

Merged in a post:
Mac->win mismatch keyboard layers on shared screen

Hello, I try to use screen.so to join from mac os to windows. When I type any symbols from mac on the remote machine I get only numbers and special symbols. Looks like layers are mismatch. I tried to change input languages. The problem still persists.

Could you please give details on:
1) OS & keyboard language of the screen share host
2) OS & keyboard language of the screen share guest
3) Key combination pressed (e.g. Alt-Shift-2)
4) Expected outcome (e.g. €)
5) Actual outcome (e.g. @)

I'm running v1.0.68 | v1.0.22 on Ubuntu installed through snap
I just witnessed an issue, where they keyboard layout was the one of the host and not my layout. The host was using a Swiss keyboard layout while I use the American layout.
Later in the call, keyboard input would not work at all even though I could still click around with my mouse. Don't know what other details I can share as there was nothing exceptional happening.
Let me know if I can provide more details.

@Ken B: were both host and guest on Ubuntu (which version)? And both on the same version of Screen?
K
Ken B
@J Sherwani (Screen Team): Both the host and guest were running Ubuntu 18.04. I don't know which version of Screen the host was running, but given they installed in the last couple days, I would bet it's recent.
