Foreign keyboard support

Post by kipale »

I have a scandinavian keyboard, which makes it sometimes difficult for me. For example when I try to type "?" in in-game chat it gives me "_", not "?". So I can't type any questions. Same thing with " ' " and "." etc. And also ";" is a default hotkey for some radar thing. In my keyboard it exists as "shift+," and so the hotkey doesn't work.

I don't know how hard it is to change this, but if it's easy then by all means please do it.

Eh, Spring uses the default Windows keyboard layout. Hotkey to switch between key layouts in windows is alt and shift at the same time, so make sure you don't do that.

Or just remove the hotkey and/or delete other layouts.

Alt+shift... wow... what kind of an idiot made that a hotkey omg... must be real nutheads there at microsoft. Yea it looks like it fixes the thing, but now the problem is that I keep pressing alt+shift all the time in spring. It's usefull for queing up a box of windgens for example. But yea seems like it's not your problem, but microsoft's. Damn microsoft, the big evilll...

Ahh I could disable the hotkey in control panel, thanks guys. Actually it's one of the very few hotkeys in windows that you can customize, even though it didn't let me change it to anything but some predefined things.
