I notice that the UK keyboard layout has some minor errors in it. The key to left of the 1 key is defined as having only the character, ` back-quote defined. However on all my keyboards shift this key is the
¬ key (a minux with a tail at the right) and alt-gr of that key is a solid vertical bar | (shift \ is a broken vertical bar ¦). This seems to want a fix to the windows/x11drv/keyboard.c module, but I just wondered if there was a particular reason for the ommision before I proposed a patch. I also found when running the Lotus Notes client (which now runs almost perfectly since the introduction of Winsock2 and more OLE stuff, although I am convinced that this error is not Notes specific) that when I tried to use a left-tab I got the following error messages:-- err:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_ToAscii Please report: no char for keysym FE20 (ISO_Left_Tab) err:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_ToAscii (virtkey=9,scanCode=F,keycode=17,state=1) I am looked at windows/x11drv/keyboard.c, but the nearest table stops short of FE20. Do I need to extend both special_key_vkey and special_key_scan, or is there another table that needs to be filled in. Also I notice that VK_TAB is defined as being scan code 0x0F, is this state related and if so how does that change which table is used? I am running with the 20000716 drop of the code The only other keyboard related thing that I have noticed with Notes is that if I use Alt-F4 to close Notes it does not close, but if I use the menu or the window close icon it does. Could this be related to the SetConsoleCtrlHandler messages I get (there are two at the start of the app, and another two at the end). I am not quite sure what these calls are suppose to do (I have no W32 docs), but reading the code the handlers do not actually appear to be used although they are recorded. The other thing I had to do to get Notes (I am running 5.0.3 currently) running as smoothly as it is currently, is to rename the program nhldaemn.exe to nhldaemn.exe.old so that it does not get run. Looking at the Strings in the exe I can not for the lifeof me see what this daemon is supposed to do, but if it is present it locks the client solid once it has been started (this only started to be a problem when you added the multiple address space support, prior to that the daemon failed to load anyway so the problem never arose. Is there a way in the debugmsg code of specifiying that only messages from a given EXE should be traced, otherwise tracking what this does will be a little like finding a needle in a haystack. The other thing that still does not work with the Notes is file attachments (attaching and detaching them), but one of these days I will try turning on all the tracing and seeing what seems to be happening here. This one has to be avoided for now as it kills the Notes client. For now though I am happily talking from the Notes client running under WINE to a server running the native Linux code. Regards David
