Re: Support for non-English keyboard layouts in aSPICE and Opaque

Hi Dietmar,

Thanks for your suggestion. These keymap files appear to describe how to effect special characters to the VM, but I don't see any description of unicode characters representing letters and numbers. What did you use for that purpose?

It's a useful resource for a cross-check in any case!

Thanks,
iordan

I also hit that problem in spiceterm,. I ended up using the qemu keymap files from
/usr/share/kvm/keymaps/. They are quite easy to parse.
