Bug#1069: Cluster SSH (cssh) has keyboard issues with non-US keyboards when called via X2GoClient
package: x2goclient version: 4.0.5.1
When cssh is started as a remote application, certain keys aren't forwarded properly when a non-US keyboard setting is present on the client.
This happens both with Windows and Linux X2Go clients.
It does *not* happen when cssh is executed directly on the client, nor, if it is executed using ssh -X.
It also does *not* happen when the "problematic" keys are entered manually in a single SSH client window *belonging to cssh* - it happens only if they are entered in the *central* cssh window, from which they are supposed to be cloned to all SSH client windows.
On a Swiss German keyboard, "^", "~", "´" and "" are known to cause problems. On a German keyboard, "~" works fine, while "^", "´" and "" remain an
issue.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

Can you please toggle client side deadkey settings and check if the problem persists? On Windows switch to swiss (edv).

There is no such option on Windows 7 ... I can set it to:
- "Deutsch (Deutschland)" with sub-options
- "Deutsch" and
- "Deutsch (IBM)"
- "Deutsch (Schweiz)" with sub-options
- "Deutsch (Schweiz)" and
- "Deutsch (IBM)" note that this is the same as above for Deutschland, there is NO "Deutsch (Schweiz) (IBM)"

Yeah, I had no Windows at hand to look up the exact name. So I'd suggest to retry using "Deutsch (Schweiz)/Deutsch(IBM)" (IBM is the one I meant).

Test situation:
Windows 7, Standard German Keyboard (no Swiss, no IBM)
x2goclient keyboard settings "autodetect keyboard": ^ -> nothing ^^ -> h~ ~ -> ~ ` -> nothing `` -> h~ ´ -> nothing ´´ -> h~
So only "~" works as expected.
Now here's the funny part: Once you click into a single SSH window belonging to CSSH, and type "^^" there, it will become a "^" ... and EVERY subsequent typing of "^^", "``", or "´´" will become an "^".
If you do it with "``" instead, every subsequent typing of any of those three characters becomes an "`", and so on.
x2goclient keyboard settings "pc105 de nodeadkeys": Works fine for every single one of those characters, just like with the US keyboard.
Changing the keyboard to "Deutsch (IBM)" did not change a thing. "Deutsch (IBM)" is not the same as "de-latin1-deadkeys" on Linux, though
- it merely disables shifting of the number row when capslock is pressed (at least that is my understanding).

What about ^<space> instead of ^^?

So if you remove the nodeadkeys, does it work then?

Yes, you are probably right, sorry for the confusion.

^<space> gives the same result as ^^.

No. It works if I *add* "nodeadkeys" to "pc105 de". "autodetect" and "pc105 de" are the same setting, at least on my client.
