Wrong Keyboard Layout with VMWare and VNC

February 8th, 2010 Category: VMWare

If you connect to your VMWare Workstation host and connect via VNC (which is a cool feature) you may recognize a wrong keyboard layout. E. g. when you have a German keyboard.

In this case just add a line (for German keyboard) into your virtual machine configuration file (.VMX):

RemoteDisplay.vnc.keymap = "de"

And your keyboard works.
