  1. Some shift or alt gr + key combinations don't work properly in some applications


    Hi, I found recently that some keys don't behave as they should. I use a Spanish keyboard built in a laptop. Windows language is set to Spanish Spain and the keyboard is set to Spanish keyboard. The easiest way to check it is with the key ñ that works as it should. Now I will explain some things related to the problem: there is a key with ´ as the main character. That's the tilde we use in Spanish and when you press it it should hold that character and write the next letter with the tilde, so "shift + ´ " and then "a" write "á". If the next letter can't have a tilde it will show as " ´

    :)

  2. Alt Gr not working with the key R

    Recently I started to work on a custom keyboard using MSKLC as a tool.

    I am creating an IPA phonetics keyboard. To make the task easier I used as a base the built-in keyboard United States-International Keyboard, I changed most of the characters that come as default in the
    Alt Gr + key combination, all the combination key worked fine except R key (Alt Gr + R) it does not respond at all. I also used other key combination
    Alt + Gr + Shift +, here, the R key worked fine. Due to the problem, I decided to set the Unicode character that was causing the problem in another key combination and it worked. Since I couldn't fix the problem, I started
    from scratch but the problem continues.

    I wonder if there is any solution to this problem if so, I thank whoever may concern, for his/her help, beforehand.

    ALT + GR not working as intended

    Cannot type the "{" and "[" character. Which is typed by Holding down "ALT GR + 7" and "ALT GR + 8" Key.

    However typing "7" and "8" individually is no problem.

    Also typing "@" which is achieved by holding ALT GR + Q works just fine aswell. Meaning every single key works individually.

    Funnily enough typing with the on Screen Keyboard works aswell for every other combination except for "ALT GR + 7" and "ALT GR + 8"

    Windows 10 - ALT GR + number key combinations not working

    You must turn on NumLock and use Alt+numbers instead of AltGr+numbers.
