Hi! I was messing around with the editor today, and noticed the following issue:

None of the AltGr characters work on the non-US/GB keyboards when typing in a text box in the game.

You'd have to change the keyboard layout to US keyboard to be able to type the $ sign, for example. For Finnish keyboard it is AltGr-4, and US keyboard simply Alt-4.

This was confirmed by Doom, however, he reported that the AltGr characters work in the Steam version of RPG.

Not really a big issue, but I hope this will be fixed in the future patches/Steam version. :)

EDIT: Also, Euro sign translates into ¬ in the chat and game.

Key input is improved in the SDL2 graphics and event handling engine. I expect that after 5.1 is released, we'll try to upgrade our build process to include SDL2 instead of SDL 1.2 in all builds going forward.
