I appear to have the same issue as what is described in the following thread:

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/wrong-console-keyboard-layout-applied.67888/

It appears to have occurred since update to 7.0-10, before then the keyboard behaved as expected.
I am seeing it in 2 separate cluster environments, one is 7.0-10, the other is 7.0-11.
The Datacenter/Keyboard Layout is set to English (UK) (en-gb) on both environments, however, typing into any guest via the novnc console results in an unknown layout.

' is displayed as `
@ is displayed as ¬
# is displayed as '
~ is displayed as @

It's quite irritating as I have special characters in my passwords, aside from that, i can't change the domain user on a Windows VM bcause I have no idea where the \ is located!!

On VM I have tried:

Code:
qm set <VMID> --keyboard en-gb

and then shut down the vm. When booted up again, the console now appears to be in a US layout with " now being the @, etc.
 
I've the same problem. With both firefox and chromium. Ubuntu server on a VM (I need USB passtrough), VM keyboard layout set to it (but with en-us is the same) noVNC console passes wrong keys
- instead of /
/ instead of &
and so on
