Hello,

After having used bhyve for servers for quite a while, I have just 
started using it with the graphical console using vnc a few days ago.

This stuff is awesome. Having a native solution for virtualization on 
FreeBSD is great.

However, I had some trouble with keyboard mappings and the vnc based 
console. I guess that having a non-US keyboard is what causes problems.

The first thing I always do after installing a new operating system is 
fetching my ssh public keys via https. I had a hard time finding out how 
to type '/' and I never found a way to type '-'.

I know that this stuff is hard to fix. What I am hoping is, that it 
could be easy to add the '/*-+' keys on the numeric part of the keyboard 
to the mapping. Those are often helpful and I think they map the same 
way on all keyboards.

/Christian
