Title: Multilingual keyboard mapping woes
Post by: powercat on August 13, 2013, 06:01:30 am

Hey what's up guys
I just started using CodeBlocks, it's really awesome.

I'm having an issue while using a particular layout.

Using Windows 7, with the "Canadian Multilingual Standard" keyboard layout:

http://www.timmitchell.fr/imgbig/canmultiling.png

In order to type the < and > characters, I need to hold down Alt Gr, and then press ' or "

The problem is that CodeBlocks correctly types <, but it doesn't let me type the >!

When I hold the Alt Gr and press ", I would expect a >, but absolutely no character appears, as if the program was intercepting the keypress.

Any idea?? Right now I'm copy/pasting from the default one, but it'd be nice to be able to type >!

Thanks!

I'm kinda embarassed that I wasn't able to find it myself, especially since it's right there in the FAQ...  :P
