Hotkey for train gui and keyboard layout changes
Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2021 8:26 pm
It does feel wrong to post in an empty bug forum and my bug is basically answered by Rseding91 with "I don't consider this a real problem. Don't change the layout after starting the game." viewtopic.php?p=245431#p245431
I'm using a layout that changes many keys, so that O (trains), L (logistics) and P (production) are not on the normal qwerty positions. They are working fine as hotkeys and I can use these keys to name tags on the map.
Now I accidently changed my layout to qwertz (german version of qwerty) and directly switched back.
After that the three keys still work fine as hotkeys. But when I try to create a tag on the map I can only use L and P. When I press O (the key where the O would be on qwerty) the tag window closes and the train gui opens (so the hotkey isn't blocked).
The behavior seems to be resettable by Alt+Tab out of and back into the game. After that I can use O again for tag-names.
So it's an edge case of a (probably) rarely used feature and I found a solution myself. I only write this, because the three letters are behaving differently.
