Force keyboard layout on SSH
0 vote
Hello,
I'm using "U.S. Internationnal - PC" on Mac but this has a bad behavior on SSH (especially when connecting to AIX and around " ' and ~ characters).
Typing " then space should just produces " but produces ~"" instead
Terminal is set to iTerm2 (no problem when connecting directly by iTerm2 by the way).
Would it be possible to add a feature to force keyboard layout at connection level?

Hi,
I seem unable to reproduce your issue. Could you provide screenshots showing the entirety of the application Settings -> Types -> Terminal pane?
Could you also export your entry (without including the credentials, you can also strip out the host of the resulting file) and share it with us?
I just want to make sure I test with the exact same configuration.
Best regards,

Hello,
I got this issue when using 
keyboard (on macOS Ventura).
If I connect to the same server using ssh on Iterm2 and type: echo<space>"<space>"<space> I got:
Which is correct behavior for US International - PC
The same sequence using ssh on RDM:
echo<space>"<space>:
Total sequence:
Same behavior with ' and ` and ~:
AIX Host entry attached as JSON.
No problem when connecting to Linux servers.
Here's for "Settings -> Types -> Terminal":

AIX.json
So, just to confirm, this only happens on AIX hosts? On Linux the behaviour is as expected?

Actually no I just tested on SUSE:
echo<space>"
echo<space>'
ech<space>`
echo<space>~
For info our AIX/SUSE are running on Power infra.
No problem with RHEL and Debian.

Hi geoffrey,
With the release of RDM Mac 2023.2.5.1, the issue with the "U.S. Internationnal - PC" keyboard layout should now be fixed.

Hello Xavier,
Awesome news!
I've just upgraded today and did some tests, so far everything seems to work as it should be with this layout.
Thanks a lot to team!
Glad to hear it!
