Hi!
What about the ö and ä keys? Should they behave the same way? (note that these keys and the ü key are marked as NOCAPS in your layout file).

Hello everybody!

I've been a long time lurker and have decided to finaly contribute something to this wonderful project.

quick introduction:
29, male, research assistent at the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland), some C/C++ knowledge (but not enough for serious contributions to an OS)

I'm in the process of creating a keyboard layout (it's nearly finished) and have run into a problem which I posted in bugzilla. I was told on #reactos that this is the way to do it.

http://reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=509

would be cool if someone with experience with keyboard layouts could give me a tip.

thanks!

yes that's true (the ü was just an example)

yes that's true but I did that for a reason. I had two choices. Either 
have them act correctly when used with CAPS LOCK (äöü -> ÄÖÜ) or have them 
act correctly when used with SHIFT (äöü -> àéè).  That's my problem. I 
can't set differentiate between SHIFT and CAPS LOCK.

I wasn't aware that NOCAPS could be different from SHIFT, so NOCAPS always
implies shift in our current model.  I'll try to fix it.
