Certain characters cannot be typed on certain keyboard layouts ("AltGr" behaving like "Ctrl")

Incorrect Alt shortcut. Its Alt+86.

Is 86 v? I've been tying do click Alt and V but i couldn't make @.

Yes.

alt + v does worked, but in 1.8-pre1 it doesn't

On my home keyboard i am also using shortcut Alt Gr + V ,but it also isn't working but most pepole are using Alt + V which isn't working too.

Oh, this happens with # &, too 😞

(& - alt + c | # alt + x )

For me Alt gr + v should create @ but it doesnt

Me too! I am using Croatian keyboard on which AltGr+V creates @ but now it doesn't.

LOL I use Croatian keyboard too cause i am croatian 😃

It also doesn't work for polish letters. Alt key acts like ctrl, so some people cannot create special chars ingame.

Yes thats true like when i try to make @ with alt v it pastes the copyied text cause alt = ctrl , ctrl v 😃

What's about this? I'm starving for making commands 😞
Hungarian keyboard here :S

The more votes this issue gets, bigger are chances of Mojang fixing it. So...please vote.

Hi guys at mojang.
I made a video about it, so you can at least confirm it 🙂
I hope this will be fixed soon 🙂

This bug exists also in 1.8. I can't write @, & and #...
I'm using hungarian keyboard, and Alt Gr + Í combination takes a screenshot, so every time I type < character, I get a small lag, because of screenshot...

A magyarok szívnak :/ és nem is fogadják el 😞

Norbert Toth, the second part you are describing is probably caused by MC-68399 🙂

Helló, ha már magyarokról is szó van 😃

Not fixed in 1.8 release.

("HU-EN" keyboard)

Valami fejlemény van már róla? Picikét idegesítő, hogy lassan átállunk 1.8-ra és se színkód, se semmi :S

The bug is present in 1.8.2-pre6.

Edited to add: The problem exists in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and Polish (programmer keyboard) and US English (American-international keyboard) as well. (In American-international you don't get special characters like "©").
The problem is for both latest Java 7 and Java 8 versions.

Weird is, that it happens on my computer, but not on my grandfather's...
Both have Windows. I also dualboot with Linux (Ubuntu) and there it works correctly.

I don't think there is, and no, bumping is not allowed.

I have the same problem

I have the czech keyboard

I have this problem in 1.8.3. Keyboard: HU / Hungarian keyboard

Can confirm on a Slovenian keyboard. And I may have tracked it down. Minecraft checks inside GuiTextField.onKeyDown for CTRL+A/X/C/V explicitly.

public static boolean isKeyComboCtrlV(int key) { return key == 47 /* V */ && isCtrlKeyDown(); }

A possible fix would be to check for !isAltKeyDown() as well.

Thank you Mojang for fixing this! It makes our gameplay much easier. 😃

I'm from Poland and I can't type Polish "ą" and "ć". The former highlights the whole text and the latter copies the highlighted text. Please fix! I'm using Minecraft 1.8.3.

@@unknown: This is fixed for next version.

@@unknown: This is MC-68399

@Kumasasa Thank you alot. I can now write proper Polish!

I never had the problem mentioned in this report, but since my bug report was marked as duplicate of this, I say it here:
When I try to set a key to Alt Gr (controls menu), it says "LCONTROL" and interferes with left control actions.
Because of that: Confirmed for 1.9.4 and 16w21b.
