Moonlight Zenith

Moonlight Zenith is an enhanced fork of Moonlight Android focused on bringing a robust and bulletproof keyboard typing experience across multiple languages and layouts.

What's New in Zenith?

• Host PC Keyboard Layout Selector: Choose between Auto, Turkish (QWERTY), German (QWERTZ), French (AZERTY), Spanish (QWERTY) and Italian (QWERTY) right from the Input settings.
• Live Update: Changed your keyboard layout in the settings? It applies instantly during gameplay without needing to restart the stream!
• Bulletproof Physical Key Injection: Bypasses the problematic UTF-8 text injection (which caused u15f or Ctrl+Shift+U bugs on Linux/Sunshine) and translates characters dynamically to their precise hardware-level Virtual-Key (VK_) codes on standard ISO/European layouts.
• Accurate Modifier Handling: Flawless handling of VK_SHIFT state for accented and dead keys (like ı, İ, ç, ö, ß, é etc.), meaning you no longer have to press Space after a special character to make it register!
