[jira] [Resolved] (GUACAMOLE-121) Ctrl/Alt key combinations not working

["Michael Jumper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-121?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Jumper resolved GUACAMOLE-121.
--------------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

Closing as invalid, as this described behavior is simply the natural consequence of:

# Forcing Unicode events (which have different semantics)
# The browser preventing JavaScript from controlling all keyboard shortcuts (which is the browser's prerogative)

I've opened a new issue for adding a Swiss-French layout, which should address the underlying difficulty here: GUACAMOLE-135

If you'd like to help contribute that layout, please comment there or within the mailing lists. We'll help however we can.

> If you are working fast (actually using the keyboard to more than type text and not use the mouse to click all the time) you definitely need Ctrl/Alt+key combinations to work.
> For example when searching something in the browser, you want to use Ctrl+F for "find" (and not go and click around in the menu, how retro is that). The same goes for Alt+key of course.
> I understand that the event will go to the local browser, and not to the application inside Guacamole, however something should be done to improve that (provide at least some keyboard combination that simulates the use of those keys).
> Using the onscreen Ctrl/Alt key is not working BTW.
> (As a sidenote: can "Ctrl-W" be trapped, such that the guacamole window is not closed when used? (Especially bad when you like to use a Linux terminal inside Guac, and are used to using shortcuts like deleting works using Ctrl+W) ^^)
