Hi Carlos,

On 2024-04-18 16:56:19, you wrote to me:

 WV>>     2.2.1.0-Beta

 WV>> Can you test this one:

 WV>> http://www.vlzn.nl/fmail/files/FConfigW32-2.2.1.0-Beta.zip

 WV>> To make sure?

 CN> Confirmed. With that one I cannot enter the backslash.

Ok, that narrows it down. It has nothing to do with the code changes for the
linux version.

I made this change to try to make fconfig work in wine.

 CN>>> Is anyone else having this issue? Michiel?

 WV>> I haven't heard about it. So I suspect it's somehow related to your

That it's an alt key on your keyboard probably explains it. On my keyboard
it's a regular key between the backspace and the enter key. The shift version
is |.

I'm gona have a look at the "new" code, and see what I can do. Or maybe I can
revert back to the old windows keyboard code...


Bye, Wilfred.
