Re: [AD] Polish messages and keyboard

[Javier Gonzalez <xaviergonz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's see if i get this straight.

The keyboards works as follows:
    Spanish: AltGr no matter if shift or caps lock are active does always
the same
    French: AltGr works different if Shift is pressed or not, but CapsLock
doesn't affect it
    Polish: Both shift and CapsLock affect AltGr

Am I right until now?

And in which way does Allegro needs to be changed to fullt support all the
keyboards?

Because I am confused as well =)
