EPKL not working in Windows command prompt #91

Open Ste-Mich opened 4 months ago

Ste-Mich commented 4 months ago

I use EPKL on Windows with colemak, czech localisation and an ISO keyboard. I have english set as the keyboard language in Windows and everything works fine.

When I open the standard Windows command prompt, standard keys work fine. However special characters (holding shift and pressing numbers) are broken for some reason.

typing the top row looks like this: 123456=7890- (I'am using curl and wide mods)

typing the top row holding shift gives me: "vx;+31c-}]_

What it should give me are the english special characters (and it does outside the Windows command prompt): !@#$%ˆ+&*()_

Not sure exactly what causes this, but some Windows tools have a problem working with the kind of input stream events AHK/EPKL uses. You could try running EPKL with Admin rights to see if that changes anything, but I kind of doubt it.

If you use a VK layout it should work as expected. But then it's all up to the installed system layout what you get.
