Dead keys are not detected in spanish keyboard #15

Closed Canx closed 6 years ago

Canx commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I'm struggling to detect accented characters (áéíóú or àèìòù) that are made using a sequence of a dead key (accent / grave accent) and a vocal.

I use HI.on("´ a") or HI.on("` a") with no luck.

Any hints?

For this you'll want to use the literal character:

HI.on("á");

If you open up your browser's developer console you can run HI.log.setLevel("DEBUG") and then select your web page and press one of those keys. It should display what it was detected as and you can copy & paste that string for use with HumanInput.

Closing due to inactivity (pretty sure I answered the question anyway).
