Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1944

What happened?

As I am programming I need to type the characters " and '
Now these keys are not working on the other machines that are connected.
Somehow they don't get printed.
Only on the machine the keyboard is physically connected to.
The other computers have now a keyboard connected for me to be able to type these two characters.

Do you know what is causing this issue? Is it something that can easily be fixed?

I'm having the same issue, my server is a Windows 11 and my client MacOS 13.4.1, both machine are using US-International layout. The Debug1 logs was showing that the key id received on the client wasn't present on the current keyboard.
I find out that adding a secondary layout on my client (British layout) and restarting Barrier fixed my issue, the quote is working properly. Maybe add a secondary keyboard layout close to the one you're using to see if it fixes it ?
