Keyboard Layout

Auto Detect: This option is used to detect keyboard layout automatically. If the client and host keyboard layouts are the same, then for all the supported physical keyboard layouts, you must select this option to avoid typo errors. If the host and client languages differ, you can choose the host language layout in the menu and thereby can directly use the physical keyboard.

Physical Keyboard: This feature is fully compatible when the host and client have the same keyboard language layout. If the client and host language layouts differ, some special characters will not be compatible.
  • Host Platform: This feature contains two options: Windows and Linux. When working with a Windows host, the Windows option should be selected. Similarly, when working with a Linux host, the Linux option should be selected. This option should be selected properly for the physical keyboard layout cross mapping to work properly. By default, Windows will be selected.

The following host physical keyboard languages are supported in JViewer:
  • English

  • Simplified Chinese

Soft Keyboard: This option allows you to select the keyboard layout. It will show the dialog as similar to the Windows on-screen keyboard. If the client and host languages are different, you can select the soft keyboard that corresponds to the host keyboard layout from the list shown in JViewer, and use it to avoid typo errors.
Note
Different Linux systems follow different keyboard layouts. Therefore, the soft keyboard displayed uses the standard windows keyboard layout irrespective of the host OS.
The following soft physical keyboard languages are supported in JViewer:
  • English

  • Simplified Chinese

Note
Soft keyboard is applicable only for the JViewer application, not for other applications in the client system.
