I don't know if this is a TDE issue or not, but it's kind of strange: vncviewer translates local keyboard (german) to a stipped down version of an english keyboard, translates that to soem scancodes and sends these to the vnc server. Notably it translates "z" to "y", "forgets" german umlauts etc., but whhen I set the OS at the vnc server side to "english" it partly remaps the scancodes to keys e.g. "z" is "z" and "y" is "y", but still umlauts are missing.
Has anybody a great idea what to do in this case? HJow do I get the correct scancodes sent to the server?

I think there is a ticket in TGW about this - what exactly are you trying the vncviewer or krdc?

I tried tigervnc and tightvnc - and it's not a TDE issue at all (shame on me). This is what I think is the reason for keyboard mixup: bhyve has a vnc server built in that models the hardware (BIOS, bootloader, ...) and is hardcoded for english. Now the installed OS (win10 .. brrr) has a different concept of hardware than the host - which goes unnoticed when your guest OS is installed in english. Luckily a VNC server running inside the guest OS does not rely on the supervisors hardware emulation. BTW, this also happens with qemu/kvm, but not with VirtualBox.

I had better experience with krdc and best with rdesktop, but not with vnc and I remember someone was working on some kbd issue in TGW recently.
