Cannot change keyboard layout - Idea

You could add an argument like "--useragent-windows" which runs GFN with Windows useragent, since GFN doesn't show keyboard layout settings with Linux useragent for some reason.

Any news?

Thanks.

I will likely add this, as well as a flag for spoofing ChromeOS.

This would "fix" #76

I was trying to find a way to do it automatically without the need to use the command line, but didn't manage to find a reliable solution.

I will add the argument. If I find something better in the future, I'll change it then. But at least there's something in the meantime, even though it's not user-friendly.

Ok so I tried doing this today, but I reached a roadblock...
It doesn't seem like setting the useragent to either ChromeOS or Windows allows me to change the keyboard layout.

I've also tried it in the browser (Chromium) and it's the same over there also.

I managed to change to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/99.0.7113.93 Safari/537.36 and voila, I got Keyboard layout settings.

Worked after launching Chromium with --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint argument

Hmmm I tried this but it doesn't work for me. I also tried completely wiping browsing data but it didn't help.
What user agent switcher extension did you use? I tried two of them with no luck.

I followed the steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GeForce_Now#Non-qwerty_keyboard_layout

Hmm.. I've installed 1.4.0 via flathub on elementary OS. The spoofing argument is either not being given to the executable, or it just doesn't work. Anything I can do?

Let me know if anyone still experiences issues with this in the latest version please.

Answer 9 · 2022-05-19T12:06:41.000Z

I just used an workaround for this:

Install some Chromium browser
Follow these steps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GeForce_Now#Non-qwerty_keyboard_layout
Open chrome://version and open the path on "Profile Path"
There should be a folder called IndexedDB
Open path of geforcenow-electron (On Flathub, it should be ~/.var/app/io.github.hmlendea.geforcenow-electron/config/GeForce NOW/)
Copy the IndexedDB folder from Step 4 to geforcenow-electron path

Now the keyboard layout should be changed to your preference

@hmlendea This is still an ongoing issue on Ubuntu 22.04, nor chromeos or windows UA allow me to change keyboard layout.

This should be fixed by some of the merged PRs. Please feel free to comment and/or re-open this issue if it still persists.
