    alt keys and polish characters - can I make them work within cutesoft?

    HI there - has anyone come across this issue that a client of mine is experiencing in Poland using the editor?

    Polish characters (eg. Ż) are entered as Alt-key combination (Alt-z in this case*). While it's not a problem when you copy-paste the whole text, most of the time he just wants to make small updates but
     cannot just type the text in.

    *) This is how polish chars works in Windows:

    For historical reason the standard keyboard layout is "Polish-programmer" which is basically an US layout, and you can enter polish char by Alt-Char combination. As there are two Alt keys on the keyboard, the right one (sometimes described as "Alt Gr" or "Grammatical Alt") is for polish chars entry, while the left one is free for all other purposes. My guess is problem is that the current editor is treating both alts same way, while it should distinguish left-Alt and right-Alt combinations.
     
    Any ideas on how to proceed?
     
    thanks in advance.
