Hi,
I would like to test a French RCP application and for this I need to add a keyboardmapping_fr_FR.properties files.
I checked the de_DE one and I understand what to do but the problem is that a French keyboard you have to add shift for typing a number...
As you can see in the keyboard mapping picture from Wikipedia attached to this message,
1 (on the English one) = & (on the French)
! (on the English kb) = 1 (on the French)
How to specify this on the keyboardmapping ? What is the reference ?
I tryed difference thing but I still have a problem due to the need of shift ..
Thanks for your help,
Michel

The best explanation about the french keyboard bug is :
Michel LAURENT wrote on Tue, 12 July 2011 11:23Yes, you're right. The problem is that you set numbers as base keys and it's not always the case for all keyboards.
I think it should be possible to change this because If I check the keyboardmapping_de.DE, there are changes (like the z key position) that is not in the properties file. So I suppose you can adapt the change you made to reflect a French (Belgium or France) keyboard layout.
The big problem is when you automate test (after a nightly build for example) you will not be sure that the keyboard is defined as English (US) or something else if it's a normal workstation used during the day...
[...]
Can you either :
- provide a french keyboard support (reopen the bug ?)
- explain to us how is the z key defined for german users, as it seams there is another way of defining key
Thanks, Antoine
