Problem with non English keyboards

[DemAvalon]

When pressing keys such as ^ ~ ´ ` ¨ it will require two key presses from the key to use a function mapped to these keys (^ is default for control vehicle and ~ is the default for white list enemy)

AdonaiJr: My guess is that on some languages, like Portuguese (it uses some chars like ô, ê), the keyboard/language in the system is setup as follows:

As soon as you press the key ^, it doesn't display anything, it "applies" the ^ to the next key you press, usually a vowel.

I think the previous way Cataclysm identified a key was through a "pure" keypress. Something changed and now it identifies like a "return from the system" for that char, ^.

If you press ^ and then -space-, it will work too, because internally the ^ char will only really "appear" after being applied to something.

My guess is that they changed something in the code that now captures keypress differently.

Thanks to AdonaiJr for properly wording the issue.

Would be really helpful to know when this change happened (which most recent version did work).

[DemAvalon]

I don't know exactly which version made the change (I stopped playing for 8-9 months, then updated and noticed the change) the earlier version I noticed this was on 6537, sorry I can't give more information.

I just got back into playing Cataclysm and tried the latest version and got this problem. I usually have the crafting menu on ^ so it is really irritating having to press it twice.
The old version I used to play dated 2017-05-10 0.C-22241-g836610010b does not have this issue.

So between 2017-05-10 and 2017-08-11 is where we should be looking.

-Edit-
Maybe my install was from an older file as I just went through the changelog between those dates and read every line but found nothing relevant.
