[Crawl] Alt Gr key not working in patched version

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

I'm playing the latest Windows binary release of Darshan's
patch. I've noticed that commands that require using the
Alt Gr key don't work, such as \ for checking item knowledge
and @ for checking character status (using a Finnish keyboard
setting). All I get is 'unknown command'.

This is probably a bug? These commands used to work in
previous patch releases. I got around the problem by
assigning macros for these commands.

Definitely. I've been merrily reshuffling large chunks of the Windows
keyboard-handling code, but I was hoping that I'd ironed out the
wrinkles. If there are any other commands that have gone AWOL, please
let me know.

I'm glad there's a workaround. I'll look into the problem as soon as
possible (but that's probably only next weekend).

I hope I'm not too much OT here. With the new alpha I recognized the
keys for [Shift-Dir] for long walk don't work on numpad (Linux) and they
probably never worked before. I never checked this because I prefered
auto-explore instead. But now, w/o the travel patch (assuming it's not
compatible anymore. Surely too early right now, but I can't resist:
UNCLE DARSHAN!!???) I would be glad to be able using long walk at least.

Correction:
Forget it, I was wrong. Long walk works perfectly. But I found another
one: Before I had to switch numpad on, now it's also working with numpad
off! Only walking works with numpad off though, aiming doesn't ("what a
strange direction").
