You can check the email archives on this. I believe it was Jason Tishler (sorry Jason if I'm remembering this wrong) that did some work relative to the interpretation of keys in different environments. I expect you'll find some interesting, if not helpful, information from some of the posts surrounding this work. You should also check the FAQ and User Guide to make sure you're not overlooking any information that might be helpful. This is always worthwhile no matter what the problem.

This is undoubtedly > your problem too. I somewhat doubt that: As I told, I'm using a US-layout keyboard in its native US mapping. The only thing non-US in my setup is the Language setting (i.e. i18n stuff), and the fact that my Win98 is a German edition. And it's not the pipe '|' I was having problem with. It's other keys. Anyway: the problem mostly went away once I rebooted the machine (the next day, only, as the Cygwin setup didn't think I had to reboot). It reappeared in a particular session, a bit later, but I didn't find any particular series of actions that would reproduce it. Maybe the problem really is that I didn't uninstall my b20.1 installation first. I can't: the entry in the uninstall menu doesn't exist. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker@physik.rwth-aachen.de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

Ah, quite a distinction to be mistaken for the honorable Tischler! :) But no, the initial whining and subsequent hack was done by me, though I can see how you might be mistaken. Hans-Bernhard, I'd suggest looking back through the mailing list archives for "AltGr", which is how this whole fiasco started. I wanted to use the right Alt key (AltGr) as META because when using the Emacs editing mode in bash, I found my left hand getting very sore due to *always* having to press the left Alt key for META. Since Emacs supported using the right Alt key as META, why not bash? I originally created a patch to cause AltGr either act as RightAlt or META via an option in the CYGWIN environment variable. That was rejected, so Corinna showed me how to determined the loaded keyboard's language and use that to determine what AltGr should do. For English language keyboards, AltGr became META, since we U.S. types don't often have cause to type accented characters and thus don't use AltGr often. If the primary language was anything other than English (an ID of 0x0409, as I recall), right Alt was not translated into META and passed unchanged through the Cygwin console handler. This algorithm was implemented in 1.3.2. This didn't work very well because lots of people, like you, set their keyboard language to English but have their keyboard *layout* set to something else (German, French, etc.). Marius Gedman then stepped in to devise a more advanced heuristic for making the right Alt/META determination. That algorithm was implemented in 1.3.3. It sounds like even Marius' more detailed test isn't working. At this point I'm not sure what else can be done. There were other suggestions at the time, but I think Marius' was agreed to be the best tactic. If this is also failing, I don't know if anything's left but to rip it out entirely (::sigh:: my poor wrists!), go back to the CYGWIN variable option, or for me to turn my life upside-down and switch over to vi. ;-D I would prefer the middle ground, but were Chris to to nix that, I guess the next DLL release would always assign right Alt to AltGr and I'd have to patch each release to get my desired META functionality. ---Jason Tiller jtiller@sjm.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

If the current situation does work for some people I don't see any reason to rip it out. I would like to figure out why it doesn't work for other people though. How many failing bug reports have we had? I haven't really been paying attention.

Two or three.

And the threat of changing the right Alt into AltGr unconditionally might even make me forget my usual lazyness (hey, Larry Wall said it was one of the great virtues of programming!) and do something. However my "enhanced META-translator" is only used on Windows NT/2000, so it shouldn't have broken anything in this specific case (Win98 + US keyboard).

I knew that Win(9[58]|ME) didn't have all of the facilities that NT did and I recall that you had a separate method for Win9x. I hadn't yet looked at the code to see that you only changed the algorithm for NT/2K. Hmm. Well, the problem is that I don't believe it worked for Win9x in the first place! At least, not for those with English language but international layout keyboards. > And if I understood the original problem report correctly (not > working ' ` ; with US keyboard layout), it has nothing to do with > AltGr at all. The first report I see (in msg00857) is from an Italian user. The second report (msg01181) is from a UK user who doesn't explicitly state what his keyboard settings are. The third report (Hans-Bernhard's, msg01241) is the most confusing - a US keyboard layout with a German OS. > I think the only constructive thing I can suggest at the moment, is > to compile and run the attached program -- it displays raw console > keyboard events Cygwin (and any other Win32 application) gets from > the operating system. This is very handy. Thanks! That will at least give the people who are having problems a chance to delve into what's going on for them.

I definatly can't program on the thing (I tie my fingers in knots if I try) but if you want, I can do some (beta-)testting (Quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog-kinda thing) on it. The system is clean - it doesn't even have a compiler (of any kind) on it, so it might be a nic test-case. As I don't want to get knee-deep into this problem (I have problems enough as is) thiss is all the help I have to offer (though, when testing, if I find something wrong and can fix it, I will, ofcourse).

[Jason didn't keep me in the Cc:, so I only found his reply via mailing list search...] Jason: Please note that this really shouldn't have any direct connection to that AltGr issue. Neither my keyboard nor my usual keyboard layout does have an AltGr key. The problem I observed happened without any particular involvement of any of the Alt or other special keys. It's a plain US keyboard (with "Windows keys), and the default keyboard layout is "English (US)", which is an exact 1:1 mapping of what's written onto the keycaps. I.e. instead of the case you had to handle: --- quote from Jason's mail to cygwin@cygwin.com: This didn't work very well because lots of people, like you, set their keyboard language to English but have their keyboard *layout* set to something else (German, French, etc.). --- quote end I'm facing a somewhat opposite situation: keyboard language and keyboard are both plain English(US). It's only the system language (what you control in the 'language' controller of the Win9x system settings) that is German, and the alternative keyboard layout: I have the internationalizer button in the Taskbar running, allowing me to switch from this US mapping to a German one on demand, on a per-application basis. But, as I already mentioned in another mail, the bulk of this problem seems gone since I rebooted the machine. Since then it only reappeared once, in circumstances I didn't manage to reproduce yet. FYI: A quick check done with 'cygcheck -k', when the problem was there, showed that the nonfunctional keys reported no VK at all (i.e. VK=0), if memory serves me well.
