In general how modifiers (e.g. Shift, Control) affect input is fairly consistent and well understood across platforms. AltGraph is a more complex case on some platforms, and user agents typically expose the per-platform behaviors to web content. Under Windows, for example, there are four main complications for content authors: 1. Some user agents report keydown/keyup events with KeyboardEvent.key = "Alt" rather than "AltGraph". Since the meaning of the right-hand Alt key depends on the keyboard layout in effect, this may cause sites with specialist keyboard handling to mis-interpret AltGraph as Alt. 2. All user agents tested (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) report AltGraph-modified keydown/keyup events with the Control and Alt modifiers also set. Although this accurately reflects how Windows represents AltGraph in input events, it creates confusion for content which associates special meanings with specific Control+ key combinations, if is reached via AltGraph under the current layout. 3. Some user agents report the AltGraph modifier on events whenever both Control and Alt are active, even under layouts which do not use AltGraph at all. 4. Some user agents generate keydown/keyup events with a KeyboardEvent.key value which does not represent the character actually generated by an AltGraph+ sequence. 5. All user agents tested (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) directly reflect the underlying platform key event sequence for AltGraph press/release, generating keydown with code=ControlLeft, keydown code=AltRight rather than a single keydown code=AltRight event. We should at least provide an informative section in the specification to illustrate the issues that content authors must allow for, and ideally provide a normative specification for the expected behavior user agents should arrange to provide, where feasible. +@garykac ... .

Coming patches will make Gecko behave same as AltGr key handling on Windows of Chromium. I&`#39`;d like Makoto-san to review widget part and smaug to review the automated test result (although, the latter is really hard to read). First, AltGr key is mapped to AltRight key on Windows only when some keyboard layout is active. Windows treats AltGraph state with both Control and Alt state. I.e., pressing both Control key and Alt key can emulate AltGraph state with any keyboard even if keyboard omits AltRight key like some Japanese keyboards for notebook. When user presses AltRight key with keyboard layout which maps AltGr key to it, following native events and DOM key events are fired now: 1. WM_KEYDOWN for ControlLeft, this causes ControlLeft "keydown" event whose ctrlKey is true. 2. WM_KEYDOWN (not WM_SYSKEYDOWN) for AltRight, this causes AltRight "keydown" event whose ctrlKey and altKey are true and getModifierState("AltGraph") returns true. 3. (sets of keyboard events whose ctrlKey and altKey are true and getModifierState("AltGraph"), but only keypress events if the key combinations produce some character(s), ctrlKey and altKey are false for TextEditor) 4. WM_SYSKEYUP for ControlLeft, this causes ControlLeft "keyup" event whose altKey is true. 5. WM_KEYUP for AltRight event, this causes AltRight "keyup" event. Google&`#39`;s suggestion and current Chrome behavior is: at `#2`, browsers should set ctrlKey and altKey to false, but keep getModifierState("AltGraph") returning true. at `#3`, browsers should set ctrlKey and altKey to false, but keep getModifierState("AltGraph") returning true. at `#4`, browsers should set ctrlKey and altKey to false, but keep getModifierState("AltGraph") returning true (even though Ctrl key is released). Additionally, they suggested and Chrome implements following behavior behind commandline parameter, |--enable-features=FixAltGraph| (coming patch (part 5) makes this behind pref): at `#2` and `#5`, browsers should set KeyboardEvent.key value to "AltGraph" instead of "Alt". Additionally, when user emulates AltGr key with pressing both Ctrl and Alt keys: * browsers should keep current behavior for both Ctrl/Alt key events. * browsers should set ctrlKey and altKey to false instead make getModifierState("AltGraph") return true of: - all of keydown, keypress and keyup events. - but only when key combination produces some character(s). So, with those rules, web apps won&`#39`;t see printable keyboard events whose ctrlKey and altKey are true, but they can distinguish if AltGr key is pressed with getModifierState("AltGraph"). Note that this does not change any behavior when active keyboard layout does not have AltGr key. ... By the proposal from Google, < https://github.com/w3c/uievents/issues/147>, Chromium treat AltRight key as "AltGraph" modifier if the keyboard layout has AltGr key. When AltRight key is pressed with a keyboard layout which has AltGr key, modifiers should as following: 1. "keydown" for ControlLeft: ctrlKey: true, altKey: false, getModifierState("AltGraph"): false 2. "keydown" for AltRight: ctrlKey: false, altKey: false, getModifierState("AltGraph"): true 3. Some "keydown", "keypress" and "keyup" events: ctrlKey: false, altKey: false, getModifierState("AltGraph"): true 4. "keyup" for ControlLeft: ctrlKey: false, altKey: false, getModifierState("AltGraph"): true 5. "keyup" for AltRight: ctrlKey: false, altKey: false, getModifierState("AltGraph"): false So, only when the preceding "keydown" event for ControlLeft, ctrlKey should be set to true as usual. However, after AltRight key is pressed actually, we should treat "AltGraph" modifier is true and both ctrlKey and altKey should be set to false …[truncated]

From the File menu, select Open Project/Solution. Within your WDK installation, navigate to src\input\layout and open the kbd.sln project file. Right-click the solution in the Solution Explorer and select Configuration Manager. From the Configuration Manager, select the Active Solution Configuration (for example, Windows 8.1 Debug or Windows 8.1 Release) and the Active Solution Platform (for example, Win32) that correspond to the type of build you are interested in. From the Build menu, click Build Solution (Ctrl+Shift+B). Previous versions of the WDK used the Windows Build utility (Build.exe) and provided separate build environment windows for each of the supported build configurations. Starting in the WDK, you can use the Visual Studio Command Prompt window for all build configurations. ### Building the sample using the command line (MSBuild) Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt window. Click Start and search for Developer Command Prompt. If your project is under %PROGRAMFILES%, you need to open the command prompt window using elevated permissions (Run as administrator). From this window you can use MsBuild.exe to build any Visual Studio project by specifying the project (.VcxProj) or solutions (.Sln) file. Navigate to the project directory and enter the MSbuild command for your target. For example, to perform a clean build of a Visual Studio driver project called kbdus.vcxproj, navigate to the project directory and enter the following MSBuild command: msbuild /t:clean /t:build .\kbdus.vcxproj. If the build succeeds, you will find the driver (kbdus.dll) in the binary output directory corresponding to the target platform, for example src\input\layout\kbdus\Windows 8.1 Debug. ## Design and Operation ### Keyboard Layout Samples details The layout DLL is loaded by the window manager when needed. One of the examples is the logon. The default set of the input locales is set in the HKCU registry, according to user&`#39`;s preference, which can be customized by the Regional and Language Options application in Control Panel. The window manager reads the HKCU registry and loads the keyboard layouts accordingly. The samples under input/layout include the following keyboard layouts: kbdus US-English keyboard layout kbdfr French keyboard layout kbdgr German keyboard layout kbd101 Japanese 101 keyboard layout kbd106 Japanese 106 keyboard layout ### Conversion Tables A keyboard layout DLL consists of a set of tables. One of the tables converts the scancode to virtual key code, while the other table provides the conversion rule from the virtual key code to the character. Not all the keys or key combinations generate the characters. The modifier keys, such as the SHIFT key or the CTRL key, alter the character generation, but do not generate the characters. The special keys, such as F1-F12 functions keys, the Delete key or the Home key, do not generate the characters either. The conversion rule from the scancode to the virtual key code is predefined in kbd.h, but can be customized in the layout-specific header files. The layout-specific headers define the keyboard type as it appears in kbd.h, and may redefine some definitions that are specific to each layout. For the typical keyboard hardware, three types of the scancode to the Virtual Key Code conversion table must be defined in the C source file, including non-extended scancode, E0-prefixed scancode, and E1-prefixed scancode.

The function translates the character using the input language and physical keyboard layout identified by the input locale identifier. ## Syntax ```cpp SHORT VkKeyScanExA( [in] CHAR ch, [in] HKL dwhkl ); ``` ## Parameters `[in] ch` Type: TCHAR The character to be translated into a virtual-key code. `[in] dwhkl` Type: HKL Input locale identifier used to translate the character. This parameter can be any input locale identifier previously returned by the LoadKeyboardLayout function. ## Return value Type: SHORT If the function succeeds, the low-order byte of the return value contains the virtual-key code and the high-order byte contains the shift state, which can be a combination of the following flag bits. | Return value | Description | | --- | --- | | - 1 | Either SHIFT key is pressed. | | - 2 | Either CTRL key is pressed. | | - 4 | Either ALT key is pressed. | | - 8 | The Hankaku key is pressed | | - 16 | Reserved (defined by the keyboard layout driver). | | - 32 | Reserved (defined by the keyboard layout driver). | If the function finds no key that translates to the passed character code, both the low-order and high-order bytes contain –1. ## Remarks The input locale identifier is a broader concept than a keyboard layout, since it can also encompass a speech-to-text converter, an Input Method Editor (IME), or any other form of input. For keyboard layouts that use the right-hand ALT key as a shift key (for example, the French keyboard layout), the shift state is represented by the value 6, because the right-hand ALT key is converted internally into CTRL+ALT. Translations for the numeric keypad (VK_NUMPAD0 through VK_DIVIDE) are ignored. This function is intended to translate characters into keystrokes from the main keyboard section only. For example, the character "7" is translated into VK_7, not VK_NUMPAD7. VkKeyScanEx is used by applications that send characters by using the WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN messages. Note The winuser.h header defines VkKeyScanEx as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes. ## Requirements | Requirement | Value | | --- | --- | | Minimum supported client | Windows 2000 Professional [desktop apps only] | | Minimum supported server | Windows 2000 Server [desktop apps only] | | Target Platform | Windows | | Header | winuser.h (include Windows.h) | | Library | User32.lib | | DLL | User32.dll |

Ignore AltGr events before switching workspace tabs.

Windows can report AltGr as both ctrlKey and altKey. hotkeys-js can therefore match an AltGr character against these Ctrl+Alt shortcuts when the layout uses the configured OEM key position. The handler can switch workspace tabs instead of inserting the character in the SQL editor or PSQL terminal.

Apply the AltGr guard to both the direct handler and iframe forwarding path. Do not rely on the German keyCode 219/ß example; the mapping is layout-specific.

   const self=this;

Update the workspace shortcut handlers to ignore events identified as AltGraph
before switching tabs, covering both direct handling and iframe forwarding.
Apply the guard based on the event’s AltGraph modifier state, not a specific key
code or character, so it works across keyboard layouts.

The collision is real, because hotkeys.filter lets these shortcuts fire inside the SQL editor and the PSQL terminal, and key code 219 is the ß key on a German Windows layout, where AltGr+ß types a backslash (so \d in PSQL would switch tabs instead). I have not applied the suggested guard, though: per MDN, Firefox on Windows reports getModifierState('AltGraph') as true for a plain Ctrl+Alt as well as for AltGr, so the guard would disable the new default shortcut outright on Windows, which is where it is needed most. Fixing this properly means choosing a different default, or a way of telling AltGr from Ctrl+Alt that has been checked on real layouts, so I'm leaving this open for a decision on the default rather than guessing at one.

@dpage, thanks for the clarification. You’re right: the proposed getModifierState('AltGraph') guard is not safe here. In Firefox on Windows, it can also reject the intended Ctrl+Alt shortcut. I withdraw that specific fix, but the AltGr collision remains a valid concern.

I agree with leaving this thread open while you decide on a different default or validate a way to distinguish the two key combinations on real layouts.

Learning: In pgAdmin 4, `hotkeys.filter` permits workspace tab shortcuts inside the SQL editor and PSQL terminal. On a German Windows layout, AltGr+ß types a backslash and can collide with the Ctrl+Alt shortcut registered with key code 219. Do not use `KeyboardEvent.getModifierState('AltGraph')` alone to reject these events: Firefox on Windows can report it as true for plain Ctrl+Alt as well as AltGr.
