Keyboard is set to AZERTY (Fr) by default. Additional Shift key problem.
Created by: wronghands
Hello,
The keyboard has an AZERTY layout by by default without an "input.prefs" file and even when one with an English keymap is present. This happens with kickstart 3.1 and 1.3 alike, with or without startup-sequence.
The only temporary workaround is to counterintuitively choose an actual French layout in input settings under workbench. This way the layout switches to English. However it reverts back to French outside that workbench environment ie. when booting without startup sequence. Also this workaround doesn't fix the special characters.
Windows 10 country preferences were set to Canada when I first encountered this error but changing it to United States and restarting Windows did not resolve the problem. Windows display language was always set to "English (United States)". I haven't encountered this problem with any other software including WinUAE using the same hdf files and kickstart roms. Also, Canada does not use an AZERTY layout even for French.
Shift problem: In addition to this, the shift key works as a toggle and not an actual modifier key. It gets stuck once pressed and has to be pressed again to switch back to normal typing similar to a caps lock but different because it also modifies the special characters that way, unlike a caps lock.
Thanks in advance and thank you for developing this core.
