Knowing that Non-Latin keyboards do tend to screw up in Windows (faced this with Vista a while back), I went through a merry time with my Devawriter; to the extent that it locks out all keyboard mappings except the ones I have programmed into the standalone itself. J. Landman Gay was writing something that I only saw out of half and eye that Unicode types would be happy about whatever is forthcoming in LC 5.5 (personally don't have the money right now); so, just maybe, this aspect of things will be sorted out.

using a special keyboard in livecode fields (in Windows 7)
Hi, guys. Here’s another Unicode-related question. How can I use a Unicode keyboard to type in a Livecode field? I’m working with an American Indian language (called Hocąk), and I need to be able to type characters such as š, ǧ and ąą. I can put them into a field with Unicode commands, but when I try and type in a field using the special keyboard (a system-level thing), the keyboard seems to be ignored. Is there some trick to this?

Re: using a special keyboard in livecode fields (in Windows 7)
Hi Rand, When I choose a Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian or Hebrew keyboard on Windows, I can type in the respective language. This works in LiveCode up to and including 5.0.2. However, I need to click in a field first and set the keyboard afterwards. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 19 mrt 2012, at 23:08, rand valentine wrote: Hi, guys.
