[Bf-committers] MSVC 7.1 compilation with scons : python short cut alt-p does not work at all .

[Nathan Letwory]

Hi,

Note: I may have an exotic setup to begin with (using DAS-keyboard 
layout http://www.students.tut.fi/~seres/DAS_en.html on WinXP).

For me the alt-p doesn't work either anymore. The alt-p does work in 
builds from before the commit.

Now, the kinky part is that only part in Blender listens to the keymap I 
have installed. So everywhere in the interface the qwerty QKEY is still 
used, except in the texteditor. The alt-n shortcut works (but 
qwerty-layout only, my keymap alt-n doesn't) in the editor, but alt-p 
doesn't  work (neither from qwerty layout (printing a b in the 
texteditor), nor DAS layout (printing a b in the texteditor)). I'm 
certain that jms doesn't have a 'standard' qwerty layout (azerty, 
perhaps?), and since Blender is used also outside the english speaking 
community, jms and I are certainly not the only ones using a non-qwerty 
keyboard/keymap... (qwerty should be forbidden anyway;).

I haven't tested what hotkeys still work in the editor and what keys 
don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if more are broken.

What I *do* like about this commit is that I finally can type öäå in 
Blender (yay), but it is still limited for very special characters. Like 
in my keymap I can type shift-4 and I get the euro sign € and for 
AltGr-0 I get the degree sign °(not that those are important for most 
Blender work, but it can be annoying if one is writing any type of text 
in Blender text editor, and suddenly it doesn't do as it is supposed to...).

Now, we all know that a event refactor is planned, and these problems 
can be remedied with it. As a use case I'd like to see custom keymaps 
being obeyed (and no, I am not going back to qwerty, since it is 
unoptimised for proper typing, I'll just suffer until we can assign our 
own hotkeys :).
