Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: Wine 9.0-rc3 on Linux | CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 | GPU: NVIDIA 3060 Ti | RAM: 32GB

 

The game does not recognize the JP106 (Japanese) keyboard layout in the context of keyboard controls (movement, etc). Input in text boxes works correctly.

Note that because I am using Wine on Linux, I can't say for sure whether this is a problem unique to my environment - but the only other programs I have seen which don't correctly recognize my keyboard are those which don't support non-US layouts in the first place.

Severity: Medium

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure a runtime environment with a JP106 keyboard.
2. Start the game with default settings, go to the Create New Campaign screen, and click in the Campaign Name text box.
3. Press the "]" key on right side of the third row between ":" and Enter, keycap: ]}む」
4. Observe that a "]" character is entered into the text box.
5. Start the campaign (it may be necessary to delete the "]" character due to other reported bugs related to file I/O), launch two vehicles, and maneuver them to within switching distance.
6. Press the "]" key and observe the result.

Expected behavior: Control switches from one vehicle to the other.

Observed behavior: Nothing happens.
