PROXMOX Console: keyboard language issue

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback on the interaction between our VNC console and keyboards on macOS.
I assume that when the mapping doesn't align, the keyboard is set to something other than US?

I don't have any ideas at the moment. I'll need to do some testing.
That being said, VNC as a protocol is extensible, and we don't use their VNC client, so it's possible that we are missing some edge cases specific to their implementation.

I'll report back once I've investigated further.
Regards

Hello Jonathan
mac keyboard layout is italian.
For example the @ digit become number 2 like a numeric pad.
Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your follow-up.

Jonathan Lafontaine has opened an internal case to address this issue. We will keep you updated as soon as a fix, or a tentative solution, is deployed in a future version.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,

Hello
thanks for the fix.
Unfortunately, remain a litte issue. I cannot type the key @ with OPTION + key (MacBook pro with Italian LAYOUT)
See printscreen
Any ideas?

Another question: then possibility to undock the console when opened.
thanks

Hi,

I've worked on the fix, and unfortunately, your issue might be an edge case we can't address right now.
The VNC server used by Proxmox doesn't handle key input in the standard way, it uses a custom message.
We haven't attempted to reverse the custom message yet and instead patched the standard keyboard message until we match the Proxmox viewer.
All that to say, some key combinations might not work correctly unless we use the custom message.

I'll create a ticket to see what we can do.

About undocking the console: unless I misunderstand what you are trying to do, you can simply right-click the tab and click 'Undock'.

YEs, you are right. UNDOCK work!.
Any workaround to type the key combination i need for type the correct password?

Maybe use a 'Typing macro' macro to type either the whole password or '@' character.

Supporting the custom message will probably be the only real solution though.

Hi @Maran Michele - FactorySolver srl

I've added the QEMU keyboard extensions for ProxMox in RDM Mac 2026.2 (that should be available in the first part of next month). I don't have a setup to fully test it, but I think it should make RDM behave more closely to the ProxMox client.

Once that's available, please try it and let me know if it's working better for you. We'll use your feedback to know if there are more issues to fix, or if this is working better and we can port the same feature to our Windows and Linux customers.

Thanks for your patience

Kind regards,
