Caps Lock and Num Lock state syncro

Post by Sergio »

After I connect to a UVNC server installed as service, I have to logon into hiting CAD button and entering password, and most of the times the password get rejected because the remote keyboard's Caps Lock and Num Lock states are not in syncro with the local ones.

It will be nice if the local viewer "changes" the local keyboard Caps Lock and Num Lock states after conection, so I can "see" the remote state looking the leds in the local keyboard. I think that it is not a very complicated task ...

TIA

Sorta like the status bar on WordPad.

Not needed when the local and remote Num and Caps keys are in sync. Just look at your own keyboard. :D

But how should this work:
1. The remote key states are transferred to the local, or
2. The local key states are transferred to the remote keyboard.

I would prefer that my own keyboard is unchanged, and the remote is synchronized. After all, I am controlling the remote, not the other way around.

Can't these be synced the same way the clipboard is?
