Description (last modified by )
Follow up from #1099.
We should just pass the raw scancode to the server when we know it will be able to handle it. ie: win32 client with win32 server.
Also, expand r12399 to support more characters - generate the list? (deal non ascii characters too)
Think about better handling for keyboard layout mismatch between client and server, see ticket:1099#comment:10. We could keep multiple translation tables for each layout in use, then use the correct translation for the currently active keyboard layout.
See #1027, #817.

| Summary: | win32 and osx shadow servers untranslated keyboard → untranslated keyboard |
|---|
Initial support in r13328: I can attach an X11 client to an X11 server with --keyboard-layout=fr --keyboard-raw=yes and get a 'fr' layout even though my local keymap is set to 'gb'. The raw keycodes are used unmodified by the server.
Still TODO:
- extend this to shadow servers (win32 and osx)
- maybe support X11 server layout changes: re-detect updated settings
- maybe have an "auto" mode for enabling this when both ends are compatible? (ie: win32 shadow server with win32 client, X11 client with X11 server)
- maybe disable or remove the tray menu for cases where it won't be applicable

Rather than extending the key packet with yet more data, we could use #1942 (new packet format).
