Ok, I will try to explain the problem again.

Spice/qemu currently assumes that the keymap on the remote keyboard has the same
keymap as the keyboard configured inside the VM. This assumption is simply wrong
in many situations.

Example: german keymap at client, us keymap inside VM

If I connect using remote-viewer and press key 'Z', I finally get an 'Y' inside the VM.

This behavior is simply a bug, and I would like to fix that.

But further discussions makes no sense if you think this is correct behavior?
