Short description of error
Nothing happens in Blender when I press the $ key. The key works fine with any other program.
Also nothing happens for the $ key with modifiers (I see the key events for the modifier keys, but not for the $ key):
alt+$ -> }
shift+$ -> £
Blender rarely uses $ or £ or }. So, it's not a severe problem.
Only when writing python scripts, I sometimes need to copy-paste a curly bracket } from outside into blender.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- open console and run
- blender --debug-events
- press $ or alt+$ or shift+$ or alt-gr+$ or win+$ (on swiss german keyboard)
- the console shows no event. (the console shows events when any other key is pressed, also for alt key and shift key)
Notes
This may or may not be related to T51689.
Problem with alt and alt-gr keys when Teamviewer is installed, only Blender is affected
Teamviewer had been installed earlier on both of my test systems. However, different keys are affected in T51689.
According to several online keyboard debug tools, $ has the keycode 223.
