Trouble with German Keyboard

Post by Germanunkol »

Hi,
When I try to enter text using a German keyboard, all the Keys are captured correctly, except for those which don't exist in english (or so it seems).
Using the following, it prints nothing (i.e. the function isn't called) when I press ü, ö or ö or ß. This leads to me not being able to print '?' either, because it's on the same key as 'ß'.

Code: Select all

function love.keypressed(key, unicode)
	print(key .. " " .. unicode)
end
I have searched the net and these forums and found nothing. Sorry if I overlooked anything.

It's a known problem. There's already a ticket in the issue tracker for it.

Thanks! Will keep track of it.
Too bad it's only fixable in the source code... I wanted to distribute .love files when the game is done, and then it wouldn't work when people download the 0.80 version.

Oh well. No Question marks in my game then.
