Hello Everybody,
for the VNC Console I can edit the xml file and add to the graphics statement keymap='de', then I have the German keyboard layout. Is there a similar command for spice?

Best regards and thanks for the nice project!

+1 That this needs fixing. I spent hours trying to figure out why I couldn't boot one of my VMs which uses Full Disk Encryption. It turns out my keyboard layout was completely wrong so of course my password was never accepted. It's essentially useless at the moment to anybody with a keyboard layout that's not the default.
