Cannot bind to ` key #60

Closed Gerboa closed 3 years ago

Gerboa commented 3 years ago

The button in the top-left of my keyboard enters a ` (backtick) normally and ¬ shifted.

I've tried entering ` as the key to bind to (plus Control) but it doesn't work. ^Q and ^' work (' being OemTilde).

@Gerboa Hey! Thanks for reporting the issue. I wonder if this is caused by a different keyboard layout, can you tell me which one you're using?

Deus-Rex commented 3 years ago

It's the UK layout. I have the same thing.

@Deus-Rex Thank you for mentioning this, I was able to reproduce the issue.

It turns out that that specific keyboard language doesn't emit "Oemtilde" from the backtick-key, but a "negation" sign, which surfaces as key code "Oem8".

This setup worked for me, using the UK keyboard layout:

{
    "HotKeys": [
        { "Modifiers": "Control", "Key": "Oem8" }
    ]
}

@Gerboa @Deus-Rex Could you please take a look and try this on your machines?

That did the trick, works perfect. Thanks mate.
