Can't enter some characters. Without @ I can't login to my remotes.

[harakiwi]

4.8.27
installed using winget

tested on Windows 10 Pro (set to German, Germany)
and a Win 10 (VM) set to English

some other symbols I can't type: € Ä Ö Ü ß \ §

I can't even copy/paste them what makes me think bug.
Do I have to change something on my end or is this a bug?

I tried to search that problem but I might not know the correct term so Id didn't find anything useful.

output is wide-char/utf-8, whereas input is currently not.
keyboard handling internals aren't Unicode safe, need to emulate utf-8

[buzzqw]

same problem, following...

[adamyg]

build-229 released, utf-8 input enabled

[buzzqw]

with version 229 i am unable to input "@" for remote session command
even copy/paste will trim it away

with 229 version i can input ùàò characters, BUT not @

[adamyg]

Please confirm dialog to which you are referring? (screen shot if possible)
Confirmed that none of "FTP", "SFTP", or "SSH" popups nor command line have issues with @ input.

WIn10 Pro (ita), guessing locale related: code-page? font?
Code page 1012, for example doesn't have an "@"

[buzzqw]

both left and right plane, FTP, SHELL, SFTP unable to input @ . neither able to paste "@"
other special characters are inputable |!"£$%&/()è+òàù§°ç
win10 pro (ita)

"@" not avaiable

[adamyg]

How are you exec'ing: directly, power-shell, console-legacy, console-tty or other env?
Shall attempt to emulate.

[buzzqw]

typing MC directly form CMD or POWERSHELL -> no @
clicling on mc.exe from explorer > no @

but from CMDER, but only with ALT+64 , is working!

it's working even with "Alternative font" disabled

[adamyg]

Not able to reproduce issue,

• Confirm Input=UTF-8 (Display Bits)
• Console Font in use
• VM, Latest Windows build ?

[adamyg]

KB layout in use?

[buzzqw]

onfirm Input=UTF-8 (Display Bits) > yes, 8 bit
Console Font in use > tested with lucida and consolas (and courier new..)
VM, Latest Windows build ? > latest windows home build, fully update, no VM
KB layout in use? Italian

can confirm. Still a problem on my end too.

4.8.30 - build 229 - downloaded the ZIP, extracted the whole folder and run the exe. No changes to the config afaik.

Alt Gr + Q does not input @
copy & paste (right click and CTRL+V) does not input @ to mc at any point (the console $ line and the SFTP login popup)
Alt + 64 on Numpad does not input the symbol

German Win 11 Pro 22631.3007
German Keyboard layout.
real USB kb and virtual kb both tried.

AltGr translation issue

[harakiwi]

⇮ AltGr (Alternate Graphic)

[buzzqw]
