The first step would be working out the protocol extension required to
carry a more advanced keyboard. If you're not familiar with the
protocol, you probably need to browse through the specification first:

http://tigervnc.org/cgi-bin/rfbproto

There is an already registered encoding called "ExtendedClipboard".
Unfortunately it is not documented yet. So before we start designing a
new extension, we should investigate if this on will do. I think it is
from UltraVNC, so you would have to dig around in their documentation
and code.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
