#440 VNC keyboard not recognised by Fuse on Pi

[Darren Bullough]

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with the keyboard when using Fuse on an RPi via VNC.

It seems to work fine if I'm using the Pi directly, but not if I connect via VNC. All other Pi functions work as expected via VNC except for Fuse.

Here's a OneDrive link to a screen recording I did on my iPhone...

Hi Darren,

GTK+ UI is using key-press-event and key-release-event events to emulate the Spectrum keyboard. I guess the virtual keyboard on IOS or the VNC client are not propagating such events. Could you try the VNC connection from a PC rather than a mobile?

Most applications need a simpler keyboard handling, kind of "a" character was typed.

Hi Sergio,

I can confirm that the VNC remote keyboard works fine through my Mac - so the issue is with the ios keyboard.

Closing as this doesn't look like a Fuse issue. As an aside, the lack of press/release events on iOS is part of the reason for the Recreated ZX Spectrum doing such strange things with its keypresses...
