Configurator not handling users with other layouts properly
The issue is that while using Norwegian layout, and presumably other layouts as well. It seams to me an arbitrary different key may be placed presses while pressing some keys using a Norwegian layout. Keep in mind I have not tried flashing a layout that looks wrong deliberately. (still waiting for my Infinity 60% and Infinity ErgoDox). However it does not seam to reflect this quote from the Wiki: The resulting key is what you should assign in the configurator.
Example:
- while pressing
+
which is US equivalent as-
I get=
in the configurator. - while pressing
\
which is US equivalent as=
I get[
in the configurator. - while pressing
-
which is US equivalent as/
I get-
in the configurator. - while pressing
'
which is US equivalent as\
I get/
in the configurator. - while pressing
æ
which is US equivalent as'
I get'
in the configurator. - while pressing
^
which is US equivalent as]
I get;
in the configurator.
I hope the examples suffice there are at least two other wrong, but I cant type them because they include the character used for code in Mardown. The rest seam to be correct, I am fairly certain I tried them all. Also the Norwegian >
which is equivalent of british \
, but thats really not a big issue and I believe you are aware of that.
Workaround: User sets their input language to US English while using the configurator.
Proposed resolution: Get the keys to at least insert the appropriate key, no matter the input language of the OS. Even though they don't match up with what is visible on the key, but they would match up with the US equivalent so it would work.
Resolution most wanted: Support for different locales. So while using the configurator, you would pick your keyboard locale, and it would display the keys for that locale as well as flash the expected layout.
Will give more information if needed
