Operating system: Linux
If your client and server computer does not have the same keycode or key combination, you may need to use a temporary workaround to resolve this issue.
For example, let’s say your key code for the Server (Linux) computer is ISO_Level3_Shift while your Client key code (Windows) is Alt_R.
The workaround is to redirect the key code at the OS level. For example, if you do not use your Right Ctrl key much, you can map it to a new key code such as Alt+R. This way, you can use Ctrl+R if you need to make Alt+R work on your client computer.
To configure this in your Linux Server:
- Open the terminal
-
xmodmap -pke > "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
-
nano "$HOME/.Xmodmap
- And add the following:
-
keycode 105 = Alt_R Meta_R Alt_R Meta_R
-
crontab -e
- And add the following:
-
@reboot sleep 30 && DISPLAY=:0 xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
-
