Re: [Rpcemu] RPCEmu 0.9.0 Keyboard key not working?

Hi Frank. My response was to Jeroen's e-mail. I assume he was talking about the actual quotes key on a US keyboard, rather than anything related to accented characters.
Incidentally, Alt-Gr combos don't seem to produce them for me, so that may be a Linux/Windows difference but it isn't something I'm remotely familiar with so I'll leave it to the devs to clarify if/when they have the chance.

Regards,
James

This isn't about setting the keyboard handler to US or UK. It's the
(right) keys not working as they should. I have to hold down the AltGr
key whenever I want an accent to show up. Not just the " and ', by the
way. All of them, `, ^ and ~ as well.

I think it may have something to do with the host using a handler like
'UK international with dead keys'. Somehow RPCEmu doesn't respect that
and treats it like 'UK international with AltGr'.

Frank
