Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian keyboard layouts are messed up.

  • Pressing the keys "äöå" doesn't work (as in not producing any input on the command line) , the " ' " key produces the input "ä"
  • the symbol keys next to the enter key and between the "0" (zero) key and backspace don't produce input at all, with the exception of the " ' " key which produces the input "ä".
  • also the "-" key next to "." and "," produces a "+" or a "?" on input.
  • All of the above applies to Finnish/Swedish keyboard layouts, but Norwegian is also affected similarly (missing or incorrect input).

To reproduce:

  • Change keyboard layout to Finnish Swedish or Norwegian (for finnish input "Keyb fi" into Dosbox-X command prompt).
  • Test affected keys by pressing them ("å" should be on the right side of "p" and "ö" and "ä" on the right side of "l" with "ö" between "l" and "ä")

OS: Manjaro Cinnamon
DosBox-X: version 0.83.15 installed from AUR.

Yes, you are right that version 0.83.15 may have issues with some keys in international keyboard layouts. There have been similar report in the following thread, and fixes were made accordingly:

#2663

Can you try to compile the latest repository code and see if it fixes the issue? Thanks!
