RDC with VMware Workstation couldn't type

Question

My using ipadpro to remotely control my win10 pc, which has VMware on it. When I tried to type in the VM created in VMware, my keyborad couldn't type correctly.
I've thought up an approach to solve this. Add another pc in RDC client on my ipad and directly connect to the VM. Anyway, I think it's confusing and dizzy.
Any other suggestions provided? Or can you fix the problem in the future? Probably related to the keyboard mapping.
Thanks for your time reading my request.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the update. But it seemed the problem was more than problem fix but a feature request for keyboard usage in VMware for windows when RDP.

Since then, please vote on the items with similar request in the UserVoice forum, where the product team will regularly visit.

Thanks for your understanding and look forward to assisting in the future if any problem related to RDS.
