dMZX Forums: 102nd key not handled correctly -> MegaZeux Feature Requests -> Tracker

The “102nd key,” the character key found on most European-language layouts between the left Shift and what’s the “Z” key on the English layout, is not handled correctly by MZX, neither key_pressed nor key_code. It is handled completely identically to the regular backslash key, probably due to its behavior as a second backslash key when a U.S. English layout is used with a keyboard containing such key. However, most European layouts assign different characters/functions to that key than the one found near the Return key, so it should be handled as a different key in Robotic as well.

Moving to: MegaZeux Feature Requests

Updating status to: Flagged For Future Version

MegaZeux currently only has rudimentary and non-obvious features that would help users work around the fact that 99% of them don't even have a keyboard with this key. Perhaps once something better is in place, things like <> and the macOS numpad clear key can be supported. Until then, the only use for this would be trolling US users.
