Things I would like to see ironed out before release

[jcastro]

Hi!
I have been using the NanoKVM for a few days, quite a bit, and I've found some things that would be nice to be improved or things that are not working very well. Just wanted to put it on your radar

1. Resizing the browser window doesn't resize the video feed, which makes it hard to see what's on screen (it adds scroll bars instead)

2. Enabling and disabling an ISO seems to disable the mouse/keyboard control. You need to manually restart the HID service

3. Impossible to add the "@" character and it's crucial for some installation or accessing through SSH. It seems that my keyboard is not being recognized correctly but even from the virtual keyboard it's not possible. IMHO this is really important!

4. Sometimes the video feed just stops responding and needs to be refreshed in the browser. Also, the Frame Detect functionality seems to do more harm than good in my experience!

Thanks and hope it helps!

Excuse me, what the hell are those spam/scam comments?
EDIT: I submitted a report to the Github support. They seem to have removed it.

I could probably make a PR to fix this.

The USB gadget is considered as one device, so everything including the mouse/keyboard and USB mass storage is transferred through this device.

Could you please elaborate more on that?

It seems that my keyboard is not being recognized correctly but even from the virtual keyboard it's not possible.

I had some compatibility problems with the entire HID subsystem, probably due to the dual absolute/relative mode. I've heard that PiKVM has relative/absolute switch disabled by default because of this.

Sometimes the video feed just stops responding and needs to be refreshed in the browser.

I never experienced that, but if it stops after changing resolutions and not even refreshing works, see this issue: #5

Also, the Frame Detect functionality seems to do more harm than good in my experience!

It is to save the bandwidth if you're accessing the NanoKVM over the internet. Feel free to disable if you're using on LAN.

I guess it might be good to trigger that restart automatically then? Not experiencing the same with PiKVM software!

I'm not able to write through the nanokvm the @ character, even using the virtual keyboard

Can you provide more information:

• NanoKVM version (click setting -> About NanoKVM).
• Remote host system information.

[jcastro]

Sure! Remote host is Proxmox VE 8.2

Done, will be part of the next release.

Same for me. I can't write the @ character neither using the virtual keyboard, nor using the "paste" function. If i copy the @ char into the "paste" box and send it, the " char will appear on the remote host. Where Shift + 2 gives you @ on a english keyboard, doing this on a german keyboard gives you the " char.
On a german keyboard, @ is the third option on the Q key, but neither pressing "Alt Gr + Q" nor "Ctrl + Alt +Q" gives me the @ char, but only a small q character.

Remote host is Windows Server 2025 en-us installation with german de-de input language, local host is Windows 11 german de-de installation and input language. Have to use the onscreen keyboard from the remote OS as a workaround for the moment.
