dMZX Forums: AltGr not handled correctly -> Archived MegaZeux Bugs -> Tracker

Key combinations with Alt Gr are not handled correctly by the Robotic editor (they behave as if the left Alt was pressed, invoking command shortcuts instead of inserting the desired characters, such as Alt+X = Export instead of AltGr+X).

Many special characters used extensively by Robotic (e.g. #, $, &, @, \, |) can only be inserted with an Alt Gr combination on many European keyboard layouts, or bar that, with clunky F3 character selection, which really hinders coding.

(I, a Hungarian, personally use a custom bilingual layout with US-English as its base and Hungarian accents moved up to use Alt Gr instead, but other European users and their – non-customized – keyboard layouts may be bothered much more by this quirk.)

IIRC, DOS versions handled these the intended way but I’m not 100% sure since the last time I used DOS MZX with a stock Hungarian layout was at least 15 years ago.
