Some note on how to reproduce and test this problem.
Physical way:
1- get a 106 key Japanese keyboard for your Windows client machine;
2- setup your client to English keyboard layout;
3- connect to a Linux machine (no matter the distro or version or
keyboard configuration);
4- open "xinput test-xi2 <device>" command on Linux (device is
the AT device in this case);
5- press CONVERT or other keys not present on an English keyboard.
Virtual way (Windows machine on a VM):
- set machine remote to VNC;
- assure Qmeu has lock-key-sync=off option to vnc;
- connect to Windows machine with a VNC client (I suggest TigerVNC
as remote-viewer do some keyboard insertion);
- do steps 2, 3, 4 above
- press the CONVERT key. If you don't have you can simulate, either
- change VNC client code to insert scancode 0x70 instead of another
key and press this key;
- disconnect main VNC client and use some tool to inject keys
(I use a modifier version of vncdotool);
- yes, above steps are not described completely... if somebody is
interested I can post some more information.
