Keyboard mapping file - Danish layout

[Jacob Buus <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,
We're looking to add a few keyboard language mappings to the Guacamole ->
RDP mappings (sent via the server-layout parameter) - starting with the
Danish (da-dk) layout.
How do we get this added to Guacamole? Do we need to supply a .keymap file
or does it take something else entirely to get a new keyboard mapping into
the project?

Thanks a lot :)

Ohhh - that's awesome!
I just looked at the documentation and couldn't find the Danish language in
here:
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#session-settings

But very good - we'll give that a go! :)

The Danish keyboard layout for RDP was added in 1.1.0:

https://guacamole.apache.org/releases/1.1.0/#swiss-german-and-danish-keymaps-for-rdp

To add a keyboard mapping for RDP, you need to:

1. Create the .keymap file.

2. Add the .keymap file to the RDP build (src/protocols/rdp/Makefile.am)

3. Add the new possible value for "server-layout" to the RDP parameter
    definitions in guacamole-client 
(guacamole-ext/src/main/resources/org/apache/guacamole/protocols/rdp.json).

4. Add a translation string for the new layout to the Guacamole webapp
    in guacamole-client, at least for English as that's the fallback
    language (guacamole/src/main/frontend/src/translations/en.json).

5. Document the new parameter value alongside the others within
    guacamole-manual.
