not quiiite gibberish. and um. what's the hint?
For me, the characters that appear on the remote machine are not quite gibberish. It's just a confusing (though predictable) remapping. Hit the local dvorak 'S' key and remotely out pops an 'O' because the second key in the home row in qwerty is 'S', which is the position of the Dvorak 'O' key. My brain can't do it full speed, but I've slogged through a couple tedious sessions. Typing:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz yields axje.uidchtnmbrl'poygk,qf; The mental process I use to get the correct text to go through is to imagine what text would appear on the screen if I were to absentmindedly type my text in Dvorak on someone's qwerty keyboard, then I can take that intermediate 'gibberish' and type it verbatim in Dvorak to have my original intended text appear (shoot me!). So, for example, typing 'Hello World' in Dvorak on a querty keymaped computer would yield 'Jdpps <soph'. If I type that mess in, over on the vnc server out pops 'Hello World'. All of that aside, I don't quite get this hint. "If you're a Dvorak person and the bugs in vnc will not permit correct typing, change yours or both back to qwerty and it'll work again." Sorry but, er, um... where's the hint? |
