Thanks for you answer Mike! What if the server has 2 layouts, for example French (azerty) and Hebrew, and the user wants to switch between them during the session? Won't that be a problem? If the client can send the key scancodes, won't that solve the problem in this scenario? Is it technically possible to implement this?
