@attikov Hi, thanks for your feedback. Did you use "Map mode" or "Translate mode beta"

I've tried Win -> Win. The "Map mode" just sends the key codes to the remote side. The host knows whether the key is the left ctrl or the right ctrl, and the other keys.

[attikov]

Good question, didn't even know that such thing exists, it was in legacy mode, map mode works like a charm.
I'll try to remember that this setting exist. Is there a documentation on that? What is doing what?

No idea why some users are still in legacy mode after upgrading to 1.2. @fufesou have a check.

What I have seen in my upgrade from 1.1.9 to 1.2.2 (in some Windows 10 PCs) is that the default keyboard remaining in legacy mode until I exclusively change it !

@mikekgr If you do the following steps, the keyboard mode will be set to the "Legacy mode".

1. Upgrade local version to 1.2.2,while keeps the remote version to 1.1.9.
2. Establish a connection to the remote side.

Then the configuration file will set the keyboard method to the "Legacy mode".

3. After upgrading the remote side to 1.2.2, the keyboard mode is still the "Legacy mode".

The way to deal with the problem is that if the version of the remote side is less than 1.2.0, the do not save the keyboard mode
to the configuration file.

But I'm not sure it's worth dealing with this special case.

No need to spend time on this.
