I am using an apple keyboard wireless
(http://www.amazon.de/Apple-MB167D-A-Wireless-Tastatur/dp/B000VQZZIK/ref=pd_sim_
dbs_ce_11)
with windows XP, sp2. I am very happy with the uawks, but - when uawks is
activated -  I have no chance to use the at sign (@) and the Euro sign (€)
anymore. When I stop UAWKS alt+Q brings @ and alt+E brings €.
It would be a great help if this could be solved. Along with a restart
option for UAWKS. As soon as UAWKS is stopped, you have to go into the
explorer to find uawks.exe for a restart.

best regards Volker

Another keyboard layout issue. These are hard for me to fix, since I use the US 
layout 
only.

Hi Brian,

It appears that I have the same issue. I am however using the swedish version 
of the keyboard. Do you have any idea of a temporary solution?

Thanks

Hi Brian, I'm experiencing the same issue with uawks and a German Apple Alu 
Mini Keyboard. As soon as I activate the expert settings, I can use the 
function keys for volume control, but have no access to the @ and € sign. 
Without the expert mode activated, both keys work, but I cannot use the 
multimedia keys....

If you find a way to use both with the same settings, this would be highly 
appreciated. Thanks!

Steff1964 - I actually found out that the combination to make a ALT-GR is 
pressing right CMD together with right ALT at the same time. Try that!

Well quite by accident I have found the Euro symbol with advanced activated. 
Just press the right alt and 4, then you will get this €. The only trouble is 
that pressing that key locks the Control. Using Windows 7 x64 UK keybaord here. 
I've got no media keys working either by the way.

I've taken a look at this and read up on the compiling so using other people's 
code I'll stick up a new EXE file later on which will cure this and fix most if 
not all of the UK / US oddities.

I'm ALWAYS glad when somebody finds a fix for something like this and posts it 
;p It's hard to fold back into the main branch, because once you fix something 
specific to one setup, it causes a problem for someone else.

The ultimate answer is eventually to move UAWKS away from AHK. Other options 
are being worked on, but at a slower pace than we'd all like.

Thank you for posting this. "Volunteers wanted!" :)
