RIP people with different Keyboard layout

I have AZERTY.
When in-game, ROBLOX suddenly acts as if I have US QWERTY, no matter my keyboard layout.
Since ROBLOX eats windows keybinds, I can’t even try to change the layout of the ROBLOX program.

The ROBLOX forums also have several posts about keyboard layouts acting weird.
A friend of mine has UK QWERTY, where Shift+2 turned from " to @.

Let me actually send an email to the 991 email, if I remember what it is
(I mean, breaking the keyboard of a lot of people… definitly important, right?)

When did this start happening?

I seem to recall hearing about this a while back, or was that only in Studio?

I noticed it an hour ago, but I was asleep before then.

Yeah, I had it happen to me a couple of times last week, however it only changed my actual Windows language setting. While I was in-game, I just changed my language back to danish, assuming it was a bug - now I can’t do that anymore, as the Windows setting remains danish, but acts english in Roblox regardless.

I can no longer use the chat properly as I have a European keyboard, and the chat is by default set to QWERTY. I also can’t change it back to AZERTY so I’m stuck with typing [Z = W], [A = Q], [M = ;] and so on.

Can this be looked into? It makes chatting in-game impossible.

None of the code for keyboard layout has changed, I’m fairly certain for keycode input this has always been this case on Windows? Although chatting with your actual keyboard layout should produce the correct string. Let me make sure a particular flag didn’t somehow get turned on, but otherwise I think this is normal.

That doesn’t happen anymore.
Moving my character still uses the same keys as before this bug.
(in my case, QSDZ, which would be ASDW for (US) QWERTY)

I second what @einsteinK said. What used to be AZ is now QW. M is ; , and all of the number row keys have changed.

Whatever happened, it also messed with my nordic keyboard. I can now activate the chat by pressing -, right next to the right shift key.

My plus key “moved” on key to the right and I almost couldn’t find the question mark. :frowning:

EDIT:
Ugh, “Print Screen” now acts as a “=”. Woohoo.

Oh, don\t we all love US keyboard layouts >\C *wow, I tried to make a sad smiley there( welp ./.!!!

^ example of attempt on chatting in-game. RIP. Even the chat hotkey has changed!

I’ll look into this asap and report back. Out of curiosity, does pressing return on the leave game screen in the menu leave the game? Or do you have to click the button?

#19

This issue is across all games that I played (a fair bit), the player movement seems to be ok for me.

Edit: It doesn’t leave the menu when I press return (on either an AZERTY or QWERTY keyboard)

#20

It leaves for me on QWERTY
