noNVC keyboard layout #

Unfortunately there is some pain involved with using remote consoles in general especially from mobile devices with virtual keyboards.

noVNC is a bit picky with keyboard layout and I can’t force it to use a particular layout from the client-side.

Known noVNC-Issues #

• No pinch-to-zoom
• Issue typing special characters

Set Keyboard Layout per VM #

qm set VMID --keyboard LAYOUT

# Example:
qm set 100 --keyboard en-us

→ Reboot VM after setting layout
