Hi all,

I amb having problems with left single quote key with OpenMSX

With OpenMSX I have noticed that when in my spanish keyboard I press the left single quote key plus another key that key keeps pressed.

Does any of you have had the same problem ?

Thanks a lot !

What do you mean by left single quote? Do you mean the quote to the right of the number 0, where the close question mark symbol is too?

In a spanish keyboard is the key between ñ and ç that has this ´ and with shift this ¨

So you mean the accent key? I've tried to reproduce the issue, but I can only do it with auto-repeat. I press the accent, then I press 'a' and hold it until it auto-repeats. Then, the 'y' key gets stuck.

Not sure why it's a problem for you, but the easiest solution is to open the console with F10 and enter: set kbd_mapping_mode positional to switch to positional mode. Now the accent is the right Ctrl key (with shift), and holding a key will no longer cause it to get stuck.

This is a very old bug that affects keyboard layouts that have dead keys. You can track it and report your case here.
