  • The key code is provided by the browser, not Construct 2, so it's not something we can fix. I'd guess it's working correctly anyway - I suppose if you change keyboard, the key codes are the same, even if the key labels are different.

  • I don't mean physical keyboard, but logical, the one set by windows

    If you make a test here, indeed there is a keycode 0 but there is another variable which that makes the special char appear.
