Keyboard handling is an area that is constantly seeing improvements and bug fixes. That’s because each platform does things slightly differently and xpra has to somehow convert this data into meaningful keyboard events on the remote end.
--no-keyboard-sync
option to prevent keys from repeating. This toggle is also accessible from the system tray menu. (this switch may cause other problems though)First, please check for existing issues that may match your problem. Failing that, make sure to read the reporting bugs guidelines and generally you will need to include (only those that apply): * try the keyboard debugging tool found in the xpra toolbox
* active keyboard layout(s) * input methods * keyboard related configuration setup/files * keyboard type * client and server log output with the -d keyboard
debugging switch * whether the bug is also present with / without the --no-keyboard-sync
switch * X11 systems: ** setxkbmap -print
and setxkbmap -query
(both directly in the client if it supports those commands and in the xpra session) ** xmodmap -pke
and xmodmap -pm
(again on both) ** xkbprint -label name $DISPLAY
* MS Windows: Keymap_info.exe
* if the problem is affecting specific keys, you may want to use the environment variable XPRA_DEBUG_KEYSYMS=keyname1,keyname2
on the server to log the keyboard mapping process for those keys * X11 servers: xev
output of the misbehaving key events
