Windows generates wrong KeyEvents for dead keys (German keyboard)

    • x86
    • generic

      Add a German keyboard layout to your NT installation. Run the attached KeyTest application to observe KeyEvents. Switch to the German layout, type the acute accent (the = key on the US layout). The keyCode value for the events generated is 221, while it should be VK_DEAD_ACUTE, which is 161. Similar problems exist for other dead keys.
