Surfingkeys not recognizing keyboard layout

[benutzer193]

I have a qwertz keyboard with special characters like ö,ü,ä. Some symbols are not recognized correctly, e.g. if I want to press ' I actually have to press ä on my keyboard.

On the other hand y and z are recognized.

I hope I could make the problem clear.

Confirm that bug.
I'm using Standard En QWERTY keyboard and experiencing keyboard layout issues as well.
e.g. pressing Ctrl + Num Pad 9 - shows SurgingKeys help dialog instead of switching to the latest tab in session.
creating Num Pad 8 - Vim Mark - stores it with ä character, though it is still working when you press ' + Num Pad 8

p.s. By the way Brook - I can see that Chrome's store / Questions sections is turned off now and is redirected to github - where is the best place to ask questions? (if it is possible)
Thanks Brook!

I got below mappings from testing.

íöüóőúűéá-
`0-=[]\;'/

So I guess the ideal solution for users with qwertz keyboard is to customize your settings like below

mapkey("á", 'Jump to vim-like mark', Normal.jumpVIMark, 1);

The mappin you provided is not working for me. I found the following mapping by chance:

mapkey("?", 'Jump to vim-like mark', Normal.jumpVIMark, 1);

Now it's possible for me to check every other button, because if I press

' + *any button*

it shows:

No mark '*any button (keyname recognized by Surfingkeys)*' defined.

The problem with this solution is, although I can make my preferred mapping, Surfingkey prints out the wrong keynames.

Do you have any idea for a solution, that the keynames are recognized correctly and independent of the layout?

I tested with Hungarian(qwertz layout).

Could you please let me know your language and keyboard layout? It would be helpful if you can attach a picture of your keyboard.

It's a German QWERTZ keyboard:

Please use work-around from @nightscape(thank his idea) to create your own mappings.

1. press Ctrl-1, then press the key you'd like to use to see what Surfingkeys gets from it.
2. use map to replace the default key.
