Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1280

What happened?

  1. Set keyboard layout on Linux (X11) to Polish setxkbmap pl
  2. Start barrier server on Linux and the client on Windows (10)
  3. Move mouse to Windows client and start typing
  4. Type Alt_R+l (lowercase L) on Linux keyboard to get "ł" on Windows (or Alt_R+[acenosxz] for "ąćęńóśźż" resp., doesn't work for uppercase too)
  5. The character does not appear on Windows.

Workaround:

  1. Use us keyboard layout on Linux (setxkbmap us)

Same thing is happening to me, running both client and server on Windows.
Workaround seems to be working.

What's the keyboard layout on windows? is it US or PL as well? if it's sending RAW keycodes, and Linux was PL and windows was US, I'd expect the keypresses to be interpreted differently on the windows side.

Have the same problem, but server and client both have the same OS (Ubuntu 20.04), keyboard layout PL and barrier version 2.3.3, installed from official repositories.

Unfortunately bug still exists. Removed 2.3.3 version from repo, and upgraded on both my machines to 2.4.0 with snap.

What I've also noticed is the option to run automatically on startup does not work.

@FliesWithWind I am afraid, I can't confirm it. I upgraded Barrier on both machines and I still can't type "zażółć" correctly.

@steelman commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2021):

I can confirm that adding

meta = altgr
altgr = shift

as described in #100 in the barrier.conf is a valid workaround. However, it requires at least one obscure step, which is switching to "Use existing configuration". Then one needs to save the configuration (Ctrl-Alt-S), edit the file manually (add the above snippet in the client section of choice), and stop/start the server.

EDIT: in some applications running on the client 'ę' (AltGr-e) becomes '€', even though local keyboard allows 'ę'.

Same issue here. Barrier v2.4.0 on both server Windows 10 and client Fedora 36.

Finnish/Scandinavian letters åäöÅÄÖ not working either.

At client log when pressing key ö on server.
