I have discovered a strange problem with my Lazarus 1.6 release
installation on RPi2 (Raspbian Jessie) concerning keyboard entries.
When I connect via VNC from my Windows7 PC I can not enter the
characters < or + via the keyboard keys into the Lazarus code editor.
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17820
I dont know if the issue is in the LCL, or in VNC.
Apparently the data received from VNC does only occur with VNC. Other
app may not have the issue, may simply mean that they do not check this
particular part of the data, independent of its correctness
Too bad then....
I looked at the VNC client settings but there is nothing about the
keyboard. Obviously I could wire the Pi up to my monitor and hook up a
different keyboard and mouse for it and work that way. But it is
inconvenient since I then lose all of the normal activity on my Win7
desktop plus the ability to copy/paste between the windows.
I'd expect the VNC client to use the keyboard etc. settings on that
computer.
And I don't have the multiple display setup that Graeme and Mark is
currently discussing on the fpc-other mail lits....
Not really relevant, that's more to do with making it look as though
multiple screens are attached to the same computer than anything else.
Maybe skipping VNC in favour of X could be a solution? But I tried
that when starting with the RPi2 dev system back in October and could
never even understand how it worked let alone find suitable software
for my Wind7 X64 laptop to work as an X server....
I answered that at some point.
Or understand how the Raspbian desktop would land on the Win7 X
screen. :(
Who cares provided it works?
I will go to the RPi forum and ask people there about setting up X for
this purpose.
As I've said multiple times before, you'd do best tunneling one app over
SSH rather than putting the entire desktop over [any of several ways of
doing it]. You might find this easiest if you investigated an X11-based
system o your desktop, rather than Windows... at least while you're
working out what's possible and what suits your working arrangements.
