RIDE on Windows fails to detect UK locale so defaults to US keyboard layout #84

Closed dyaandys closed 6 years ago

dyaandys commented 7 years ago

When RIDE is installed/first run, could it attempt to identify the most appropriate keyboard layout and use that ?

Most especially, can RIDE identify that it's running on macOS and use such as en_GB_mac, rather than en_GB.

I think RIDE correctly determines the keyboard layout based on navigator.language. But Andy has just shown me that on his UK Windows machine, electron seems to think his language is en-US not en-GB.

I have the same problem: my Windows VM is set to UK language and locale, but Electron sets navigator.language to en-US not en-GB.

This seems to be a problem with Electron not RIDE. I have confirmed by reproducing the problem in a freshly downloaded electron.exe running the hello world app.

Detecting locale has been a longstanding issue in electron and still not fixed. I've resorted to use another package for now.
