> Incorrect Caps Lock keysym sent to Windows via RDP

>                 Key: GUACAMOLE-859
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-859
>             Project: Guacamole
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
>         Environment: macOS Mojave
> Windows 10
>            Reporter: Weston Thayer
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 1.2.0
>
>
> 1. On a Mac, connect to a Windows machine via an RDP connection in Guacamole
> 2. On the Windows machine, open Chrome or Firefox and navigate to https://jsbin.com/reviciceke/2/edit?js,console,output
> 3. Click the "Run with JS" button
> 4. Click the output pane to make sure it has keyboard focus
> 5. Press the Caps Lock key on your Mac (you may need to press it twice if it's already on)
> Actual: The JSBin's console outputs KeyboardEvent.code and KeyboardEvent.key for the "keypress" event. Note how KeyboardEvent.code is an empty string and KeyboardEvent.key is "Unidentified"
> Expected: KeyboardEvent.code should be "CapsLock", as should KeyboardEvent.key
> I believe the keysym being sent by guacamole-common-js's Keyboard.js is 0xffe5. I'm guessing the guacd RDP plugin has a bug, where that keysym is not mapped to the correct RDP scancode(?).
> For reference, using Microsoft's RDP client for macOS, KeyboardEvent.code and key are correctly "CapsLock".
> Note that this bug probably went un-noticed for a long time because Caps Lock still "works" in that future characters typed are capitalized. But in my use case, I need Windows to handle the Caps Lock key down itself.
