Hi Carlos,

Ok, that narrows it down. It has nothing to do with the code changes for the linux version.

I made this change to try to make fconfig work in wine.

 CN>>> Is anyone else having this issue? Michiel?

That it's an alt key on your keyboard probably explains it. On my keyboard it's a regular key between the backspace and the enter key. The shift version is |.

I'm gona have a look at the "new" code, and see what I can do. Or maybe I can revert back to the old windows keyboard code...


Bye, Wilfred.
