Re: Can't break ping process of windows CMD

[Roman <ad...@yandex.ru>]

Thank you very much.

Could you also suggest is there any workaround available to make Russian
layout working correctly ?

I simulated the situation on different Windows 10 machines, mine PCs, my
friend's, at work, virtual machines and the situation is all the same.

Unfortunately there is no work-around - the keymap must be updated and then
the guacd source built with the updated keymap.  You are welcome to patch
it yourself and update it on your system.  If there's not a JIRA issue for
this please go ahead and enter one, and we can get it fixed for the next
release.
