Sorry, but I'm not paid for this, I don't actually use the software at all (neither brltty nor windows), don't actually own the hardware (thus had to emulate it in qemu by first reverse-engineering the actual device behavior), it just seems I'm the only guy in the world that knows a bit about both brltty and windows and knows that some people *need* it, and I thus spend time on it, and it was already almost 5am... > /* Create correct CtrlKeyState from high byte returned by VkKeyScanW. */ > if (vks & 0x100) > ctrl |= SHIFT_PRESSED; > if (vks & 0x200) > ctrl |= RIGHT_CTRL_PRESSED; > if (vks & 0x400) > ctrl |= RIGHT_ALT_PRESSED; Err, do you mean LEFT_ALT_PRESSED here? Right alt is altgr in some keyboard layouts, which is precisely what people use to type '@' in the french layout, actually. E.g. LeftAlt-A and RightAlt-A (i.e. altgr-a) is not the same in such layouts. In the past we were using left_ctrl+left_alt, but this was not working in DOS applications in cmd, so we made it a special case by using right alt instead. I have now added right control along right alt, which indeed fixes the issue, I am apparently unable to run DOS applications in my XP installation, but I hope it will also work there.
