Keyboard input register "wrong" keys

[l00per44]

Hello,

I have a very strange issue with the keyboard controls. Some keys won't work without me pressing WIN+key. Example: To put the reverser in forward I have to press WIN+W. This is not that I have incorrectly mapped the keys. Indeed on the keyboard input configuration screen, if I press 'W' it appears as 'F15' but if I press WIN+'W' it appears as just 'W'. It almost seems like the Windows API reports the wrong keys to the OR software.

This is the only software I have had this issue with. I am running OR on a laptop computer.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I have had similar problems with ORTS recognizing keys as something else they had written on it. I found it to be related to the fact, that ORTS is programmed to use the American "QWERTY" keyboard layout, while I am using the German "QWERTZ" layout.

Thus, knowing what your keyboard layout is might also help figuring out what´s going on.

Cheers, Markus

I am using a Toshiba laptop. Physical layout is Swedish. I have tried switching to American keyboard layout in Windows, but it did nothing. I have also tried connecting an USB keyboard but the problem remains.
