Z reported as GLFW_KEY_Y and vice versa

[afalkenhahn]

I recently upgraded to GLFW 3.1.1 from 3.0 and noticed that pressing Z on a German keyboard is now reported as GLFW_KEY_Y and pressing Y is reported as GLFW_KEY_Z. In GLFW 3.0 this was working correctly, I just double-checked it again.

What OS are you on?

[afalkenhahn]

Oops, should've mentioned that: Windows 7.

The key callback deals with physical keys and names them according to their values in the US keyboard layout. There was a bug (#114) in 3.0 that broke this behavior on Windows. This bug was fixed in 3.1.

If you want to input text, see the character callback.

For more information, see keyboard input in the input guide.

Alright, I didn't see that it is supposed to return the US keyboard layout because
of the bug in 3.0. This issue can be closed then.

i have the exact same problem and i really don't understand it (still). how can i detect in a platform independent manner that the combination "CTRL+Z" was pressed ?
OnKey reports them wrong on my german keylaout on win32 and OnChar won't report the event at all...
