RemotePC and LocalPC key settings

[takahiro suzuki <zu...@gmail.com>]

Hello.

I have a question regarding key settings.

For example, in the following configuration,
is there a way to fix and synchronize key input between the local PC and
the remote PC using Apache Guacamole settings (such as through the API)?

Request:
I would like the local PC (set to half-width alphanumeric mode) to always
follow the remote PC setting (2-byte character "あ" Japanese input mode).

Environment:
Remote PC: 2-byte character "あ" Japanese input mode
|
Apache Guacamole Server
|
Local PC: half-width alphanumeric mode

Reason for the request:
The input mode on the local PC frequently changes (from half-width
alphanumeric to 2-byte character "あ" Japanese),
which makes direct text input impossible, and I am forced to switch modes
manually using the mouse. This is very inconvenient and causing problems.

Condition:
There are situations where both the remote PC and the local PC are used for
direct key input without Apache Guacamole Server,
so I want to ensure that Apache Guacamole settings do not interfere when
using either PC directly.

I am having a lot of trouble with this.
Please help me.

What protocol are you using to access the Remote PC? I don't believe this
is possible, unless one of the protocols (RDP or VNC, I assume), and the
associated client library (FreeRDP or libvncclient) support tracking that
information and sending it on to the client.
