Can't say I've seen this.
Open Edita, close all files (to keep the ex.err small and readable) and start
with a new one. As soon as it goes wrong, use Tools/Crash and send me the ex.err,
which should have all the keystokes and cursor info etc I need, and I'll take a
look at it.

Yep, my bad.

Ah, got that thanks, but nothing apparent where I expected it.
Can you try much the same thing, this time in the new file type Ctrl F8, then
"here -->]" followed by Tools/Crash.

Thanks,
Pete

Still no joy.

Can you try running the following program and detail what happens:

include arwen.ew

constant DEMO = create(Window,	"Can you get two OK to appear?", 0, 0,
50,50,400,100,0)
constant LBL = create(Label,"press X",0,DEMO,10,10,200,25,0)
constant LBL2 = create(Label,"",	0,DEMO,10,40,200,25,0)

integer stage
	stage=1

sequence kset
	 kset={}

function handler_DEMO(integer id, integer msg, atom wParam, object lParam)

    if msg = WM_CHAR then
	kset=append(kset,{msg,stage,wParam,lParam})
	if stage = 1 and find(wParam,"xX") then
	    setText(LBL,"OK")
	    stage = 2
	    setText(LBL2,"press ]")
	elsif stage = 2 and wParam = ']' then
	    setText(LBL2,"OK")
	    stage = 3
	else
	    if find(wParam,"qQ") then ?9/0 end if
	    id = 0
	end if
    elsif msg = WM_KEYDOWN then
	kset=append(kset,{msg,stage,wParam,lParam})
	if not(stage=1 and find(wParam,"xX"))
	and not(stage=2 and find(wParam,{']'+128})) then
	    id = 0
	end if
    elsif msg = WM_SYSKEYDOWN then
	if not(stage=3 and find(wParam,{VK_MENU,VK_F4,' '})) then
	    kset=append(kset,{msg,stage,wParam,lParam})
	    id = 0
	end if
    elsif msg = WM_SYSCHAR and wParam!=' ' then
	kset=append(kset,{msg,stage,wParam,lParam})
	id = 0
    end if
    if id=0 then
	setText(LBL2,"Error: press Q for error report")
	stage = 3
    end if
    return 0
end function
setHandler(DEMO, routine_id("handler_DEMO"))

WinMain(DEMO, SW_NORMAL)

Ah, thanks, finally I think we're getting somewhere!

> Maybe something related to the spanish locals maybe.
Seems so. Three questions:
1) do you have to ctrl-alt-something to get a ']'?
2) (to the list) Does anyone know what a
  WM_KEYDOWN, wParam=187, lParam=#201B0001 actually is?
  None of my guesses, being VK_F12+64, or 59';'+128, or 91'['+64+32
  seem to make any sense. Maybe the answer to 1) will clarify this.
  Also, according to my docs, bit 29 is always 0 for WM_KEYDOWN,
  but it seems m$ changed that for windows CE only?
3) can you try changing line 5013(ish) of edita.exw from

elsif control then

to

elsif not getKeyState(VK_MENU) and control then

and see if it fixes the problem.

Regards,
Pete

To your question:
In the spanish keyboard, to get a "]" you have to press [ALT GR][+].
The Plus key is located differently than in english keyboards, next to the top
of the big return key.
Best regards,
Jes.

Great, that mod (slightly tweaked, see below) will be in the next release,
whenever that is.

Thanks, that helped me realise a few things. I can now see that Edita
potentially has similar problems with ><+-CXMULIW keys, just need to make sure
that not both ctrl and alt are down in virtualKey() and sysKey(), and certainly
avoid mapping alt keys to ctrl keys since that just confuses everyone, including
me
