Re: German Keyboard support...

[Ivan Vučica]

I am unfamiliar with the issue. However, since Croatian keyboard has some 
similarities, here are a few things you may want to test on a Croatian keyboard 
layout (marked as HR under Windows).

1. Qwertz instead of qwerty.
2. Altgr+v should result in @.
3. Altgr+f/g should result in [/].
4. Altgr+b/n should result in {/}.
5. Altgr+q/w should result in \ and |.
6. Keys right of jkl and iop should result in č, ć, ž, š, đ.

I suspect that correct behavior in these cases should make the keyboard work 
correctly for German layout too. There might be issues in composing ü from two 
characters (u and umlaut), but I think German layout has dedicated key for ü 
and other German-specific characters.
