Characters typed wrong on linux guests, but only certain autotyping methods

[phirestalker]

When I type things into a VM it comes out right. Most libraries (including AppleScript) that type for you do not come out right. I know this is not a problem with UTM, but I was hoping someone else had figured this out already.

I am trying to make a utility to type a password into one of my VMs. This utility works great on other apps on my mac, but there are issues with typing into UTM VMs. One method I tried only types the first 5 or so characters. The current method pyautogui types all the password, and visually it looks identical to the correct password. However, Linux will not accept the password.

I am wondering if the layout in the VM doesn't match the one on my mac host, but then wouldn't typing from my keyboard come out wrong? Also, the app KeepassXC (which I am trying to replace) is able to type the password and login to the VM with no issues. I am stumped on where to look for troubleshooting this. Any ideas?

UTM: 4.4.5
macOS: 14.3.1

I'm sure I forgot something
