It looks like only US keyboard is usable, in fact my italian keyboard is not recognised while writing a message and this is annoying because you have to pay much attention to avoid errors. I think that software should recognise OS installed keyboard automatically, I don't know why this is not happening.
Best 73 de Phil iz1fks
Thank you @do7ke and @iz1fks for your information.
I have managed to reproduce and solve.
I will release a fix in the upcoming version (V3)
73s!
@iz1fks I've made a dirty workaround for this on my end: In windows' localization settings, I've added the german (or in your case italian) keyboard layout to the english localization (for windows 7 it should kinda look like this: https://thetypingcat.com/howto/change-your-keyboard-layout-win7 but of course you will add italian instead of dvorak) and removed the US keyboard layout out of it. So now, even though windows will switch to the english localization, it still uses my german keyboard layout. It's a bit dirty and of course it would be nicer if the programm wouldn't do it in the first place but for now it works for me.
I have noticed that everytime I start (or switch to) VarAC, my windows keyboard scheme changes automatically to ENG (as seen in the taskbar). If I manually switch it back to my localization (German), everything is fine again. However, this happens everytime I start the programm or Alt+Tab out of it and in again, while this doesn't happen with any other programs.
Is there some part of the runtime that tells Windows it prefers the english keyboard layout over any other so Windows feels obligated to switch to that?
It seems to me that the request is to support non-English text. Currently, non-English/non-ASCII characters are shown as "?" on the receiving side. For example:
Hi Phil. can you please tell me what keyboard you are using that does not work ? I want to try and simulate it. a screenshot of your keyboard configuration would be helpful. Thank you.
