 ### Contraintes connues autofill
 
+- **VNC (2026-10-14)** : les caracteres partent en `KEYEVENTF_UNICODE`
+  (`VK_PACKET`), que TigerVNC & co ne savent pas retransmettre - un Mac
+  recevait un `V` par caractere. Cible dont l'exe contient « vnc »
+  (`TargetTypesByKeyCodes`) → **vraies touches** (`SendKeyCodeString` :
+  `VkKeyScanEx` dans la disposition de la cible, + Maj/Ctrl/Alt, AltGr =
+  Ctrl+Alt) ; un caractere sans touche repart en Unicode. Journal : `typed as
+  key codes (VNC)` sur la ligne `Autofill waits`. Eprouve sur un mot de passe
+  simple ; caracteres speciaux dependants de la disposition du Mac distant.
+
 - **UIPI** : SendInput vers process élevé bloqué. Notepad++ admin,
   regedit → autofill silencieusement no-op. Tester avec apps non-élevées.
 - **Chrome password manager** : si Chrome a des credentials sauvegardés
