Barrier: Some keyboard strokes are not working properly

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10

Client: Mac OS Mojave

Barrier Version

2.3.2

Bug Info

I have an US International keyboard layout on both server and client. Most of the keys are working properly, but some there are a few that are acting weirdly or not working at all:

• The TILDE key triggers the tilde, but also both OPTION and SHIFT keys at the same time.
• AltGr triggers both ALT keys, and also both OPTION keys.
• Single quote key is not working at all.

I'm using the Ukelele App to check which keys are being detected by the client.

Update: This error shows up in the log of the client every time I press the single quote key:

barrierc[23501:716161] pid(23501)/euid(501) is calling TIS/TSM in non-main thread environment, ERROR : This is NOT allowed. Please call TIS/TSM in main thread!!!

I also have some problems.
The Mac is the client with the following mapping:

altgr = alt
alt = super

On a Mac (with swedish keyboard layout) you write a backslash using Shift-Option-7, (with option being the alt equivalent). After pressing shift-alt nothing gets detected.

Another thing: when pressing alt-7 it somehow gets mapped to the equivalent to Option-8 on the Mac, when in fact I expected it to be Option-7 which should give me a pipe |.

This is most likely related to issue #527.

On US-Intl layouts to have:

• A single quote ['], we have to stroke ['] and then [space], and it's not working;
• A double quote ["], we have to stroke [shift] + ['] and then [space], and it's not working;
• Other composite characters like [á,é,í,ó,ú,ç] made by [a,e,i,o,u,c] + ['] and then [space], are working fine.

Having exactly the same problem, using this excellent piece of software on windows 10, raspbian and osx at the same time, win 10 is the server and a bluetooth keyboard is connected to it, using international us.

I have to omit the single quote if i don't (argh!!!!) want to move back to mac keyboard. Is there an easier work around?

Many thanks again :)

Downloaded this build artifact directly from Azure Pipelines while it's still not published and it worked:

Just installed on my Windows 10 (Barrier server) and those quotes/double-quotes began to work properly on my Mac by using the "Brazillian" layout (not Brazillian ABNT2 or Brazillian Pro).
