I use Linux desktop as my workstation, whose keyboard layout is general "jp".
I had to connect to a Windows machine with Remmina, one of remote desktop clients, the other day. Additionally, I had to connect to CentOS servers via SSH, whose locale is "C", inside it.
What happened then? I pushed : in my keyboard and ' appeared in the screen, for example. It made me puzzled, when using Vim, etc🤕
It seemed caused by the difference of keyboard layouts between the Linux machines bridged by the Windows machine.
I found the solution finally. It was easy operation to configure Remmina.
Open its "Preferences":
Then, activate "Use client keyboard mapping":
It made my work more comfortable🙂

Ahoj, Šárka, děkuji, too, for your comments 😄 I'm happy to know my post helped you.
I struggled with this for a few weeks, it was very annoying. In an RDP session I had a keyboard layout that wasn't even available when connecting from WIN11 OS.
I don't know how I missed this setting, thank you very much!
Yay, thank you for the happy news to me ☺️
