Right, but after the keyboard map actually being used, tweaks to the 
mapping can be done, to make the experience 'quite pleasant'. In fact 
the only thing missing right now (with a swedish layout) is the 
recognition of the <alt gr> key. That to works with native the native 
client.

There is as you probably know an old issue to NoVNC, that was brought 
back to life just a few months ago. To my understanding addressing this 
issue
