Problems with Swiss German keyboard (W11 WSL Ubuntu 24.04) #1780

Open marcoxa opened 3 months ago

marcoxa commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug It appears that the latest version (on W11 WSL Ubuntu 24.04) does not like a Swiss German keyboard. I cannot type in the top left key (§ and ° when shifted) below the Escape key and, above all, the bottom left key next to the left SHIFT key (> when shifted and Alt Gr \ work correctly, but not the plain <; which is a problem).

Other keys do not quite work. Some of them produce accented characters (ü. à. ö etc) but in general it is a bit annoying).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. W11
  2. Swiss German keyboard

Expected behavior I press < I get a <.

Context (please complete the following information):

Did earlier Medley versions work better with the Swiss German keyboard? There are longstanding known issues with and incomplete support of non English keyboards, for example #334.

Not sure @pamoroso ... I had an earlier version installed, but it did not start anymore. So I just deleted it. Sorry.

... plus this is on Windows 11 with VNC; not MacOS. It must be something with (Swiss) German Keyboards :)
