[Rd] AltGr not working in R GUI Script Editor (PR#9430)
Full_Name: Zoran Bosnic
Version: 2.4.0
OS: Windows XP SP2
Submission from: (NULL) (212.235.140.146)
This is a problem that occurs in R GUI Script Editor and is connected to Windows
regional settings.
Since I live in Slovenia, my computer has a keyboard with additional slovenian
international characters. I am therefore using Windows XP SP2 with Input
Language (=Keyboard Locale, Control Panel/Regional and Language
Options/Languages/Details/Input language) set to Slovenian.
On slovenian keyboards characters as [, ], {, } are produced by pressing key
combinations AltGr+F, AltGr+G, AltGr+B and AltGr+N, respectively. These
combinations generally work in all Windows programs and also in R Console.
However, R Script editor produces behaves wrongly and causes:
AltGr+F to open Find dialog box,
AltGr+N to open new Script window.
Consequentially, it is not possible to type ] and } brackets using slovenian
input settings in script editor. Meanwhile, AltGr+G and AltGr+B work fine.

I'm working on an American keyboard, that doesn't have an AltGr key, so it's hard to test anything. One solution would be to add an option to disable handling of shortcut keys in menus. There's probably a better solution, but without being able to test it, I don't think I could find it. Are you familiar enough with Windows internals to work on this and submit a patch, or do you know someone who is?

I do have AltGr (and Slovenian installed). The issue is that the author of graphapp seems not to have had a 'right menu key' as MSDN call it. This was fixed in R 0.9.1 and unfixed in R 2.0.0 by the author of the script editor, who wrote in graphapp/events.c /* Check for menu control keys. */ /* disabled : Alt-Gr bug*/ /* Re-enabled for the moment, CJ */ I do now have a proper fix.
