Can not input numbers on the keyboard - goutnet - 02-16-2014

Hi,

I have this issue on wings3D from some time, on all versions I could get my hands on. Not sure if this is only related to wings or if my setup is wrong, but I can not enter any number on wings3D.

Keyboard inputs (the rest) are ok, but trying to input numbers on the regular keys (up the keyboard), result in the lowercase version of key (I am a french keyboard user). That is :

instead of typing 1 i get &, (on the French keyboard). Same issue with the numpad.

I tried using my bepo layout, but I get the same result as well.

I get that issue on all the version I tried :

1.5.2
1.4.1
1.2-1

My setup :

Linux amd64 debian, french keyboard + one bepo keyboard.

I tried the builtin laptop keyboard (that have numerical keypad), an external keyboard (typematrix), all in all, impossible to input any number …

Any hint or debug clue would be grealty appreciated.

this is going to be an issue for you and your set up (French Keyboard). On my laptop, my function keys double as various controls like screen brightness and speaker volume when used with a FN (function) key. There's also a Windows key, Control key, and a Shift key that can have impact. You might need to find a Keymap for your French keyboard layout. Also remember, in Wings3d, to input integer (when moving, rotating, etc) you need to first push the TAB key....
