[Spice-devel] Support for non-English keyboard layouts in aSPICE and Opaque

[i iordanov]

Hi Dietmar,

Thanks for your suggestion. These keymap files appear to describe how to
effect special characters to the VM, but I don't see any description of
unicode characters representing letters and numbers. What did you use for
that purpose?

It's a useful resource for a cross-check in any case!

Thanks,
iordan
