French keyboard mapping using Royal TSX
122 words, 1 minutes
Since I’m using a Mac to connect to remote Windows servers, I get mapping issues with my french keyboard. I’ve tried various software and each time, the “@” keys outputs “²” and “-” keys turns into the “=” character. But I finally got the software / configuration couple that brings nearly normal use of the french keyboard from Mac to Windows using TSE.
Using Royal TSX 2.0.2, create a “Remote Desktop” object. Fill-in the hostname and credentials properties. Then go to the “Input” property and check the “Send key presses as Unicode”. That’s all!
There are still a few issues but those are easy to handle.
For example, “|” requires the “alt-6” combination, when “" pops-up using
“alt-8”. But no big deal.
