For the moment, in Radium, I haven’t seen any other problem with the keyboard keys. But I haven’t explored the program much yet, blocked as I was with the numbers in the Editor :)

The problem seems to be with keybindings that are NOT bound to QWERTY/scancode keys.There seems to be a bug there.

In other words, when adding notes to the editor, where we are pretending that your keyboard is a piano (ignoring locale settings), things seems to work okay. But otherwice I'm sceptical. You can see in this file which keybindings are using scancodes (starting with "QWERTY_") here:
https://github.com/kmatheussen/radium/b ... dings.conf

So for instance, when pressing Left control + 1, is the "EL" value in the lower right of the window changed to 1 or 3?
Does Ctrl + O open a song? Etc.

I need to investigate the way I'm reading keys from XOrg. I'm surprised that the function I'm using is so seldomly used. Maybe there's a better way.

It's also strange that this bug has never been reported before. Maybe something has changed in X or the xcb libraries recently

Sorry for not being able to be more useful :/ I am not a coder and my understanding is therefore very limited.

At least if I can help by doing some tests...

For the time:

- when pressing Left control + 1, "EL" value in the lower right of the window changed to 3.
- Ctrl + O open a song.

Good luck in your investigations :)

I think this commit should fix the problem, at least I have good hopes it will:

I'll make a new test release as soon as I get back to the build server.

Do you have an idea of the release date for the next version, so I can try your patches?
Thank you.

The build server is in another place, and I need to be there physically to turn it on. For various reasons, I haven't been there for more than a week, but coincidentally I am at the server-place right now, so a new test release should be ready later today.

I just tried and it seems to work.

Just a question: by typing the first line C#4 (see image), "xxx" appeared. What does that mean?

Thank you very much for your work :)
