Starmade | Alt Gr combinations for characters don't register
Closed, FinishedPublic

Description

As the title says, after this update I've been unable to type those symbols in chat using the right-alt key. As everyone knows, right-alt + q will result on a "/" ...

... while right-alt + w will result on a "?" ...

See as they won't type at all.

Tester information (Internal use only)

Since this mostly depends on your keyboard layout, just use Alt Gr + anything you know off that has a character bound to the Alt Gr key.
In my case that is stuff like:

I don't seem to belong to "Everyone knows", those shortcuts do nothing for me outside Starmade and I've never heard of that before either. I don't have a right alt either besides Alt Gr which is different in function, or should be at least. I've asked around and no one else knows about it either (doesn't work if they try). That's for qwerty, qwertz and azerty layouts.

Is this something specific to your keyboard layout? You didn't mention your OS but it can't be a Mac with that graphics card. Windows doesn't seem to offer something like this unless you use like alt codes which still work for me. No idea about Linux but I can't find anything about it when I search for it.

Can you elaborate on this a bit?

Oh sorry, forgot to mention it's Windows 7 Ultimate.

Let me see how can I explain.... Well, my keyboard is qwerty, and when I say "right alt" I do mean alt gr, yes... And well, I have had many keyboards over those years and they all had this function of typing " ? " and " / " with this combination of keys, and it also always worked on all games including Starmade as well, which only stopped working after this very specific update. I can also confirm it persists even after the recent hotfixes. (v0.199.432: ) (v0.199.433: )

I'm not sure how can I feed any more info than this...

OK so basically Alt Gr doesn't work anymore.

lancake changed the task status from Open to In Queue (Game).

-Confirmed-

Any symbol that requires you to use Alt Gr to enter it, doesn't input anything anymore in input fields such as chat and search bars.
