I just got my MiniKVM, and am testing it between two Windows 11 25H2 laptops. I’m using OpenterfaceQt version 0.5.25.169. I can successfully connect and see the target’s video, and mouse control works, but when I try typing capital letters (with like Shift+j to get a “J”) it does not work and only sends lowercase.
The little keyboard thing at the bottom of the Openterface window shows that I’m pressing Shift+J. Then I tried with Ctrl to do stuff like CTL+C / CTRL+V to copy/paste on the target but that didn’t work either. Neither did CTRL+Backspace to delete words.
The only way modifier keys work is to have System Key Blocker option turned on, but that doesn’t seem like the intended behavior. Is this a bug?
