Alt Gr + E is treated as Ctrl + Alt + E
Hi, this one has been bugging me for quite some time and at first I thought it was a Windows 10 problem because I didn't have it before. My laptop has an AZERTY keyboard and the right Alt key is in fact Alt Gr. The standard E key has the Euro sign (€) which is activated by Alt Gr + E. In WinSplit Revolution Ctrl + Alt +e is standard set to Maximize Window. It seems Winsplit Revolution interprets the the Alt Gr + E as Ctrl + Alt+E and maximizes my window instead letting me enter €. I have changed the hotkey for Maximize to Ctrl + Alt +s and now I can type € again.
Apparently it is a Windows thing to treat Alt Gr as Ctrl + Alt (https://superuser.com/questions/592970/can-i-make-ctrlalt-not-act-like-altgr-on-windows), but I'm quite sure I didn't have this problem before. That's why I thought it was a Windows issue. Maybe I didn't have Ctrl + Alt +E assigned before? Or it's the combination of English user interface + Azerty keyboard layout... Anyway, I you think you can't fix it, you can close this issue if you want.
For completeness:
- Windows 10 Pro (Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363)
- Windows Display Language: English (Belgium)
- Windows Keyboard setting: Belgian (Comma) AZERTY
As far as I know, Windows doesn't differentiate between altgr and ctrl+alt. I think the only alternative would be to implement a custom keyboard hook and come up with a way to differentiate between altgr and ctrl+alt using some hack. I had a brief look at how AutoHotkey handles altgr and it is does not appear to be trivial.
I'm going to be honest and say this isn't something I want to spend my time doing. I'll leave this open in case someone else wants to take a stab at it.
Default Windows behaviour treats AltGr and Ctrl+Alt as the same thing (except for important key combinations like Ctrl+Alt+Delete)
