Might be connected with https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMaker-Bugs/issues/5916 where Right Alt (also named Alt Gr) is not working on multiline text inputs (with only exception of legacy code editor).

interesting! hopefully, it will be fixed!

The fix to this issue is currently blocked by SDL2 not reporting the appropriate modifiers from the system platform layer. Documentation indicates that on Windows we expect a LCTRL | RALT modifier, but SDL2 only reports LCTRL.

zreedy commented 2 months ago

The appropriate fix has been written now, pending SDL2's behavior shaking out properly.

Fix should be available in recent beta releases

Verified fix for Polish AZERTY but when using French (Belgium) AZERTY keyboard, Alt Gr+3 does not print # as it does in notepad, reopening.

gnysek commented 3 weeks ago

btw. Polish uses QWERTY.

YYDan commented 3 weeks ago

Yeah - apparently the need to specifically check "Polish using AZERTY" came from something that was not documented properly here/confusion over something said on Discord and then never recorded here. As you say, Polish does not typically use AZERTY, so this request IS a bit odd and the reason for it should have been recorded here.

(Note that the original report does not include which language was being used at the time, so we're checking both the French and Belgian variants of AZERTY.)

zreedy commented 3 weeks ago

It does seem that different AZERTY keyboards have different AltGr keys by the way, so French (Belgium)'s AltGr+3 is expected to print #, where as this will do nothing with Polish AZERTY. There is likely additional keyboard layouts which need testing.

Btw., from what I remember, some versions of Windows were allowing to switch to QWERTY to AZERTY with Ctrl+Shift (yeah, only that, without further keystroke), and was happening to change keyboard layout by mistake, and it was often problem in past (as no one uses AZERTY in Poland).
