Description

I notice several bug reports on the issue tracker related to missing keymap files. I realize it is not a priority for the Guacamole developer community, but it is a show stopper for the users affected. For example, I am unable to find a proper French Canadian keymap, as many key or key combinations do not work with the other keymaps or the provided failsafe keyboard. This renders Guacamole unusable.

 

I would like to have a detailed (very detailed) walkthrough of how one can create their own keymap file, put it in the right place in the source tree, a list of files that need to be modified to accommodate the new keymap and re-build instructions. Such a walkthrough would allow some of us script kiddies to contribute a little, and would remove a little of the burden from the Guacamole devs.
