What about Shift+� and then o

Why don't you change the keyboard layout in windows itself?

For similar reasons, I have both my native German layout and the English layout installed. No need for external programs. Switching on the fly is also already supported by windows itself.

shift+" o doesn't work either.. n�t like it does here...

i mean it does in normal programs but not dom3. Does the german language set work with a one keypress in dom3?

I'll tool around some, see if i can get my keyboard to do it with german.

feh, i don't think theres any way for me to do this without getting a new keyboard.

even with the german layout i need to press alt+p to get the �

which doesn't work in dom3.

Let me apologize for being testy, I failed to mention that I am incredibly computer literate, and already know how to get the characters with alt+#s, copy and paste from charmap, and (now) using international keyboard...

but none of it works in Dom3. not even the shift"+o.

if anyone knows a way to remap the keyboard in winXP so that i can enter the character with one keystroke, then let me know - thats the only way I can imagine it working, and then, maybe it still won't.

update: I tried using AutoHotKey to map f12 to send �, but in Dom3 it sends the alt number instead of the character.

The "�" on the German layout should equal the ";" on the physical English keykoard. And I can confirm that it works, other layouts with special characters, like Swedish, also work.

outside of dom3 german gives me the "�" - in dom3 it gives me ";"

this is a lost cause you guys.

You, sir, have a very strange computer.

Just tested: My Dom3 accepts any change in keyboard layout properly. Are you SURE that you have activated German layout? Try Dom3 in windowed mode, this way, you can look at the tray-icon that indicates the active layout. Remember, the layout MAY be different from one window to the next! (It only switches for the currently active window IIRC.)

There is an item in the bug report where some of the units in Dom3 that had characters like those in the name arent showing up correctly. I think there was a library correction which caused the european spellings which the devs like to not carry through. I dont know if that means it will stay this way for compatability reasons, or if it will be repaired back to the way it was.

Now you mentioned that.
when i have to output the name of the rgb file to a new map it doesn�t get the _ character right and I have to press every key to find it
Lastly it was on shift+5 or shift+6 wich i don�t know from what layout is because it�s not english and not spanish.
