Configuring support for client keyboards and/or IMEs

Windows uses input languages, keyboard layouts, Input Method Editors (IME), and code pages to map keys on a keyboard to the characters on the display. When a key is pressed on the client’s keyboard, FH Web Edition sends a key code to the host, which translates the key code into a Windows input message using the session’s active keyboard layout. The FH Web Edition setup configures the host to support clients that use the same operating system, keyboard, and/or IME as the host. FH Web Edition supports clients with different operating systems and keyboards with keyboard mapping files.

The following section describes mechanisms and procedures to manage keyboards and IMEs in sessions on client computers that do not match the host system.
