I like to understand why something doesn't work as it's supposed to :P I have a feeling that I used the period key from the numpad back then but couldn't reproduce it. Maybe in later games. But it works now, so I'll quickly try in the remaining games of my LucasArts marathon on the side with DOSBox ...

For my azerty layout it was getting the semicolon keycode and SHIFT modifier. I didn't get what you meant by this... Did you mean that it is what you're supposed to do to get a period on AZERTY and it didn't work since it was expecting a key without modifier, so impossible to do, or that it was exp...

Hi, I just tested the latest development build, and it's working correctly with the AZERTY layout :) Thank you very much! Out of curiosity, do you know what the problem was (maybe since the change to SDL2, but maybe not according to your experience on Mac OS) ? What key was ScummVM expecting for the...

It would if what we want to do is use the physical location of the key, and thus use the period key on a English-US keyboard and the colon key on a French keyboard. I don't know if this is what we want though. And also engines in ScummVM do not get this information anyway (only the key code and asc...

Thank you :) Would using scancodes be of any use ? Expecting a keypress based on its physical location instead of the character it produces. https://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryKeyboard But I guess that wouldn't help having a consistent controls/shortcuts documentation. Now that I think of it, didn't th...

Hi, thank you for your reply. The last version I used before updating to 2.0 was 1.7.0, so I didn't check earlier versions, but it still works with 1.8.0. I tried with 1.9.0-win32 and 1.9.0-win32-sdl2 and got the same behavior. As I mentioned in the first post, with those versions the game seems to ...

Hi, thank you for your reply. Yes, I checked the controls on the wiki and it's still there, so I assumed it would still work. Just in case, I tried in a Xubuntu (17.10.1) VM with the latest stable release (2.0.0) and, while it still doesn't work on AZERTY, switching to QWERTY does. On Windows, switc...

Does period (.) still work in 1.9+ on non-QWERTY keyboards ?

Hi, I haven't used ScummVM for a while (since 1.7.0) and I wanted to resume my LucasArts marathon. I saw new versions were available so I updated to 2.0.0 stable. I'm using Windows 10 64-bit and an AZERTY keyboard. I noticed that I couldn't use period (.) to skip dialogue lines any more. I tried it ...
