I'm wondering if USB keyboards can report what symbols are on each keycap, and if some guests can use that information automatically, so even when hardware keycodes are wrong, they might still map host key symbols to guest key symbols correctly. I don't know much about USB keyboards, just that they can report a large block of information about themselves, and wondered if this might be possible. -- Jamie
