International keyboard support

This topic describes how international keyboard support is managed.

The Video Viewer uses platform-specific native code to intercept key events to access the physical key information directly. The client detects the physical key event and passes it along to the server. The server detects the same physical keystrokes that the client experiences. The server supports all standard keyboard layouts with the only limitation; that the target and client use the same keyboard layout. If a remote user has a different keyboard layout from the server, the user can switch the server layout while it is being accessed remotely and then switch the server layout back again.
