Accented chars (e.g. áéíóú) don't work with HID Macros

Post by jasinski » 20 Aug 2013, 15:18

Using:
- Windows 8
- Display language: English
- Input language: Portuguese (Brazil)
- Keyboard layout: United States-International-

Problem description:
- To produce an accented char, you usually press the accent key (say, [~]) and the char key.
- When HID macros is not running, everything works and I get the correct char: ã
- When HID macros is running, i get the tilde char twice. immediately after typing the tilde key. The final result is: ~~a

That's it. Thanks a lot for this awesome program. I am using it to regain some productivity after I broke my shoulder, I have a thesis to write and maybe I can meet the deadline thanks to HIDMacros. :)

Yes, this is known issue already described here at forum.
Probably could be fixed if I have more time for development (which I currently don't have :-( )

Hi, boss! Very nice tool! Any chance or workaround to solve this, or any date in which it'll be figured it out? I know you also developed LuaMacros: is there in it the same issue?
