Problem with German Keyboard Layout and WebSSH

[dark0ni]

Hello,
great software but i have a big problem that makes me sadly unusable for me. I have a very specific Setup with my Keyboard that prevents that i can cancel for example current process with control+c / strg+c.

Setup:

1. Install https://github.com/skrysm/windows-pc-keyboard-layout-mac the German Keyboard Layout
2. Start a SSH Session in WebSSH
3. ping google.de
4. Try to cancel with cmd+c or strg+c

With the normal Mac Keyboard Layouts the Problem don't occur but the standard mac keyboard layout is sadly unusable for my German Logitech MX Keys Keyboard. Other pograms like terminal i can cancel the task with strg+c to cancel the process.

Seems like WebSSH overwrite manually some Keyboards Shortcuts

When i open the mac "show keyboard viewer" it shows the same keys are pressed

Best regards

Hey @dark0ni 👋

If strg act as ctrl key it should work out of the box on WebSSH.

On a working terminal on your mac, please run :
cat | hexdump -C

Then press strg+d
What’s the output?

with the german layout (german flag) i get:

sysop@deploy1:~$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^D 	  4 0004 0x04

tested in the terminal

for the mac layout i get the same keystroke hexcode

i did the same test in WebSSH
and get following response:

sysop@deploy1:~$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^D        4 0004 0x04

with normal key layout it has the same code

sysop@deploy1:~$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

d       100 0144 0x64
d       100 0144 0x64
d       100 0144 0x64
d       100 0144 0x64

with the german layout (german flag) code is different, i dont understand it is only registered as small "d" instead of "^D" 🤔

Seems strange :/
Perhaps WebSSH doesn't receive the "control" key data

Hi @isontheline , did you reproduce the error on your mac environment or do you need more information from me? :)

[isontheline]

Yeah I need more information but I don’t know where to start 😬

Keys mapping is done by the operating system actually but here WebSSH doesn’t seem to receive them for a mysterious reason.
