Definition: VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. 2 Purpose: VNC allows you to remotely send keyboard and mouse input across a network or the internet from one computer to another and even view exactly what is on the screen of the other computer. Mac OS X keyboard mapping A VNC Viewer user should be able to press any key or key combination and have the expected result manifest itself seamlessly on the computer running VNC Server. If you are connecting to a Mac from a Windows or Linux PC, or vice versa, the two computers are likely to have different keyboards. Hi, When I connect to Linux VNCServer (TigerVNC 1.7 on Ubuntu 14 or so) from VNCViewer (TigerVNC 1.7 also) for Mac (macOS 10.12.1), I cannot type any key. Although I can move, click, and drag mouse pointer. In short, VNCServer on Linux + VNCViewer on Mac => PROBLEM (No keyboard input) VNCServer on Linux + VNCViewer on Windows => OK, no problem VNCServer on Linux + VNCViewer on Linux => OK, no problem Does anybody have the same problem? Please advice me. I have this problem from TigerVNC 1.5 or former version. Thanks for your reply Pierre. I tried debug log and found the following lines; CConn: Using Tight encoding Viewport: Unexpected release of key code 36 Mon Dec 12 11: CConn: Enabling continuous updates Mon Dec 12 11: Viewport: No symbol for key code 0x00 (in the current state) Viewport: Unexpected release of key code 0 You can also download entire log. It's those of when I connected some VNC server on Linux (with TigerVNC 1.7) and tried a few key strokes. (As I wrote, there was no response on the screen.) Any advice for this symptom? And, would you please tell me how can I build Mac version TigerVNC Viewer from source code? I'm having trouble finding a VNC server for Mac OS X that allows me to connect from a Windows box with German keyboard layout. I've tried the built-in desktop sharing and several versions of Vine but all of them had problems with several keys. Does maybe anyone know about a working combination of a Mac OS X VNC server and Windows VNC client which properly supports a German keyboard layout on the client? Update: I don't think the Windows client is the problem, because I have no issues connecting to Linux boxes. And I've tried several different clients. First: I am answering your question. I cannot believe the number of posts which are not even addressing your question-at-hand. I don't know how to verify this for sure. I have Mac OS 10.4.11 with OSXvnc and I am connecting with UltraVNC client, from Windows. I use a US keyboard layout in UltraVNC client, and (I've never used German keyboard layout before, so let me know if I'm doing something wrong) I select 'German' from the International preference pane. When I open TextEdit, typing the QWER row produces: qwertzuiop. Typing the numerical row with Shift held down produces:!' ยง$%&/()= So, I guess what I did was: use US layout from Windows client. Set German layout on server. I had this problem also with the built-in Apple Remote Desktop, and I have almost solved it. In my case, I use a spanish version of Windows and Mac, and I'm connecting to the Mac from the Windows machine through RealVnc (the Mac is using the built-in VNC server, because it's running Snow Leopard). So, the trick is to select in Mac the ISO variant of your keyboard layout. In my case is 'Spanish ISO', and in Windows select the 'English USA' layout.
