GitHub user anshul1886 reopened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/669
Made the adding new keyboard language support easier
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8665
This branch has implemented following improvements in console proxy
keyboard language support
1) ajaxviewer.js and ajaxkeys.js are main files involved in key code
translations. These files now can be copied in systemvm/js folder and they will
be copied to CPVM with stop/start performed on it.
2) Started passing parameters to CPVM needed to resolve the ambiguous cases
of keycode translations.
3) Generalise the framework such that one needs to modify only ajaxkeys.js
(file which has keycode mappings) without need of much knowledge in js.
FS for this feature is available at

existing broken keys WIP document is available at
