Problem with keymaping in remote client

tristpost

I am connecting to a Linux Mint Cinnamon client from another Linux Mint Cinnamon machine (laptop) on the same LAN.

Both machines have Swedish keyboard/layout and when used directly with screen/keyboard both produces all my keyboard keys correctly. Also when I conndect using SSH to connect from lapptop to client do the keyboard work.

When I connect with TiemViewer however the tilde ~ key is instead mapped to something else (some combination key that when I press another key prints a blank or non-printable character). As I use the remote connection for Linux admin and programming it is super annoying that this specific key does not work :-(

All other characters (including my national characters etc) works in TeamViewer as far as I have seen so far….

I do not own any Windows machines so cant say if this would also occur in this setup.

Any proposals on how to solve or further diagnose this problem are much appreciated!

Hi @tristpost,
Thanks for your first post in our Community!

Could you confirm to us the version of your TeamViewer and the version of your Mint Cinnamon?

Please know that TeamViewer for personal use requires using the newest version of TeamViewer.
The current supported versions can be found here: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/portal/linux/

If you have a TeamViewer license, it's possible to use older versions of TeamViewer; however, keep in mind that TeamViewer (Classic) is supported for these OS specific versions.

If you're using a supported version, please try to double-check if the Send key combinations setting is checked:

(Open TeamViewer Options ➜ Remote control ➜ On the field Remote control defaults, check Send key combinations ➜ Click OK to save)

I hope it helps! 🍀
Share with us how it goes, and don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.
Best, Carol
