sdl2: In the Polish language is not possible to write special character "ę" (RAlt+e)

[softcoder]

What screen is this defect referring to?

[filux]

Both. First screen ("g" with hat) is in game chat after single RAlt+e (enabled some modifier mode and waits for next letter). Second screen shows in game key test for RAlt+e.
In both cases expected is "ę" character.

[softcoder]

Which page in the game are you typing this.

[filux]

1-st screen. New Game > Custom Game > Play now > Enter > RAlt+e (in the chat, single use RAlt+e)
2-nd screen. Options > Keyboard setup > RAlt+e (in the key test box)

I have similar issues with the Euro ( € ) character. I cannot input it in irc chat in the lobby for example.
This works in sdl1.2 MG

[filux]

a bit unrelated but also ctrl+L - hidden language menu doesn't work (fixed since 6d0592d)

[filux]

since 6d0592d RAlt+e works different but still wrong (single use RAlt+e), because produces "e" and "g with hat" at once

[filux]

today I got idea about check/compare codes in key test, because maybe this may be somehow helpful, so now (sdl2) I see:

• for "e" : 101,101,0
• for "RAlt": 1073742054,1073742054,512
• for "RAlt+e": -60,-60,512

... and for old values (sdl1 / 3.11.1) I see:

• for "e" : 101,101,101,0
• for "RAlt": 313,313,0,16384
• for "RAlt+e": 101,281,281,16384

... so 3 values vs 4 values and for sure this long sdl2 numbers for "RAlt" look strange

[titiger]

Suggestion: currently we use key events like MainMenu::keyPress and so on.
Thats ok for normal button pressed events in the game and so on. For real textinput ( active text input label ) its maybe better to use a new SDL2 way and use SDL_TextInputEvent directly in the places where text input is needed.

on 76d41df in game I don't see any difference:

... on the "headless configuration screen" is the same situation:

... but in the lobby I see something different (first time I tested here, didn't expected differencess):

so in the lobby is very close (e + proper and expected: "ę") and second RAlt+e produces again "eę" so somehow modifier "g with hat" is not present here.
... but if I do "Ralt+e" and then "Backspace" (removing character before cursor) then I got same effect like in game:

... so for removing "ę" in the lobby I have to use "Backspace" twice :|.

[filux]

on 964c776 in game still old behavior ^.
... in the lobby "ę" works but backspace doesn't work at all, so you can't remove characters.

on 81346ba all looks to be fixed :)
