How do I troubleshoot keyboard issues when using Amazon WorkSpaces?

To troubleshoot keyboard issues when using Amazon WorkSpaces, follow these steps:

Note: Be sure to check that the keyboard works as expected when using local machine to rule out an issue with the keyboard hardware.

1. Verify that you are using the latest Amazon WorkSpaces client.
2. Restart the WorkSpace from the Amazon WorkSpaces console.
3. Disable any secure keyboard features that are enabled in antivirus software settings.
4. Disable any custom key remapping applications.
5. If you are using an international keyboard for a Windows WorkSpace, verify that the keyboard layout on the WorkSpace and the client match.

macOS only: If enabled, the Secure Keyboard Entry option on macOS can prevent the Amazon WorkSpaces client from receiving input from the operating system. To disable Secure Keyboard Entry on macOS, follow these steps:

1. Open a Terminal window.
2. On the menu bar, choose Terminal, then clear Secure Keyboard Entry.
