German Umlaute in monkey with GetChar()

[Henry1975Participant]

Hello everyone.

Actually I’m converting some old code from BlitzMax to monkey and I got stuck with the scanning of german umlaute with GetChar().
In BlitzMax it worked well, monkey doesn’t get the right scancodes.

Strange thing is, the key event finds the correct ones:
ä = 228 (KeyEvent)
ä = 195 (GetChar)

ö = 246 (KeyEvent)
ö = 195 (GetChar)

ü = 252 (KeyEvent)
ü = 195 (GetChar)

Anyone able to help me in this case?

Thanks in advance
Henry

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘the key event finds the correct ones’ – what key event?!?

Found it – fix now up at github in the develop branch!

You really only need to update the modules/mojo/input/keyboard.monkey2 file. You’ll also need to update modules.

Thank you very much Mark!

I did a dirty workaround with event.Key to catch the wrong GetChar() values. Worked but as I said, it was dirty.
I’ll fetch the developer branch and rework my code.

Big thanks!
