No AZERTY support (French keyboard layout) when doing a VNC connection to a Mac

0 comments
Hello, I sent a bug report through the AppStore but I got no answer,
so I'm trying to post it here.

For instance, typing a "A" on the iPhone or iPad keyboard produces a
"Q" on my Mac. In addition to making it difficult to type, even though
I could manage to type "Q" instead of "A" or "W" instead of "Z" every
time, other characters offer no workaround : if the remote Mac is
password-locked, there may be no way to unlock it. Entering the
password is impossible if it contains certain numbers such as "8" that
produces "!". In this example, no other key on the keyboard seems to
produce a "8". Switching on the iPhone or iPad to an English layout
doesn't help.

I've also bought Mocha VNC and it does not exhibit this problem thanks
to a "Mac OS X Keyboard" setting that specifies the active keyboard
driver on each connection and that can be set to "US", "Danish",
"French (AZERTY)", "German", "Spanish iso" and "Canadian French".
However, Mocha VNC does not support SSH tunnels for VNC connections,
so I can only use it on my local network since security matters to me.

Therefore, considering iSSH is sold in international App Stores, I
hope you can consider fixing this problem for non-US customers have
the SSH VNC feature work with non-QWERTY keyboard settings on remote
Macs. I have read many reviews on the French App Store that show that
other people have experienced the same problem as me : take a look at
it... Thanks by advance !
