FR-CH keyboard - cannot send special characters #85

Open jcheger opened 1 week ago

Quite an extension of #27 and #32.

FR-CH (Swiss-French) keyboard is a QWERTZ variant, using Alt-Gr for special characters. But I cannot find a way to send them.

fr-ch-altgr

At least, those characters are mandatory for remote maintenance (Windows and Linux):

char ascii hex
@ 0x40
# 0x23
< 0x3c
> 0x3e
\ 0x5c
| 0x7c

« Alt-Gr 1 » or « Alt-Gr 7 » for « | » (pipe) can be quite confusing, depending on the program for remote control, and the OS (Windows and Linux behave differently).

I can confirm this issue using a french keyboard (AZERTY). Special character requiring the use of Alt-Gr are not sent.

double ctrl, double prtsc also not sent some software requires special key to activate recommended to implement standard keyboard functions and not to artificially filter certain keys.
