I noticed a problem with AmiBrowser when a german keymap is used.

It seems key combinations where CTRL or ALT is needed are filtered out in the AmiBrowser window. For the '@' character with german keymap I need to press  'ALT GR' + 'Q' on my german keyboard. This works in the shell, in Redit, in Finalwriter, etc. but not in the AmiBrowser window. Which is rather inconvenient as often email adresses are used as user names on various sites.  :'(

An easy workaround would be to just use American/British keymap and get the '@' via 'SHIFT' + 'ä' on german keyboards. But as I was 'smart' enough to use german umlauts like 'ß' in various passwords I need the german keymap for that reason...  ;)

Is there a chance this can be fixed in the upcoming versions?



I will look into it.
Do you have the german keymap set at A600GS/A1200NG  level or at AmiBench level?

I haven't had time to dig into the code to see why yet, here in a shell 'ALT-s' produces 'ß' , but not in AmiBrowser.

Curiously though 'Alt-k' followed by 'u'  gives 'ü' both in shall and amibrowser
