Hi,

I came to know that phosphor-webui will be replaced by webui-vue.
We are using Openbmc version 2.7 and Windows OS for the Host.
I have two Queries regarding IP KVM.

1. Is there any way I can send CTRL+ALT+DEL command to the host from the KVM?
   Probably a menu button((Attached pic) on the KVM to send the command
2. Is developing keyboard mapping (attached pic Keyboard_mapping) for the KVM is in the road map
   This is to provide 1:1 mapping, character translation etc.
   Please let me know if two features will be supported in IP KVM?

Regards,
Pavan S

Hi Pavan,

1. Yes, there will be a button to send CTRL+ALT+DEL
2. Can you explain keyboard mapping more? What is the difference between Map 1:1 and Auto?
   I use the noVNC library, documentation- https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/blob/master/docs/API.md
   If this option is available I could implement it, therefore, I need some examples to better understanding.

Regards,
Mateusz

The screen looks really good. I am going to merge https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/webui-vue/+/34759.

I added this to the GUI Design Workgroup on Wednesday to review. There are some differences with the layouts between KVM and SoL. I think we should discuss these and determine how to make the experience more consistent. I have added a screen show below with the main differences between the two screens.

I have added screens with KVM content (current height and SOL height)

Hello,
Some suggestions regarding SoL/KVM comparison:

1. Naming should be standardized.
   Left side menu contains names: KVM / Serial over LAN console
   I suggest changing names to KVM console / SOL console
   (referring to Wikipedia entry SOL should be all capital letters.

2. Below you can find my graphical mock with UI proposal. Few changes here:

• same naming convention,
• same windows sizes,
• buttons moved to right-top side,
• icon for shortcut (for KVM),
• icon for status (for KVM) - should apply proper icon for every status,
• "Status:" is bolded.

Hi, When we do a fresh install of OS, this is extremely hard because num lock doesn’t work and numbers are very difficult to find. When we need to set up a password, this is extremely complicated because you don’t know where . or | or ! are. These kinds of characters are necessary when you set a password. Hence we need to have keyboard mapping. Auto : will automatically transfer the key sent to the language set on the host OS. 1:1 mapping : key is sent without any translation. Translate: Option will enable users to select the language. PFA for more details.  Let me know if we are supporting the above feature. Regards, Pavan S
