Re^4: Windows Tk issue Copy and Paste Russian keyboard

The keyboards have both layouts printed on them (otherwise it's a pain to use: imagine trying to access Perlmonks while only being able to type Cyrillic), and you just press the keys corresponding to Latin C and V, no matter which keyboard layout is active. With the most popular Cyrillic layout (that is, ЙЦУКЕН, not phonetic ЯВЕРТЫ), C corresponds to С (U+0421 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER ES) and V corresponds to М (U+041C CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER EM).

Probably depends on the decision, wether to interpret scancodes (key positions) or characters (key meanings). In this case it's characters, and the russian layout doesn't have a C (Latin-Letter-Cee), so you can't enter Control-C, only Control-Cyrillic-Letter-Es, which leads to OP's situation.	[reply]

Thank you for the explanation: "you just press the keys corresponding to Latin C and V, no matter which keyboard layout is active" and this is exactly what is not working in Tk (while it works virtually in any other application I tried).	[reply]
