This release fixes a couple of bugs on software that relied on the Virtual Key Codes emitted by the keyboard.
This makes it possible to support some keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to zoom-in or zoom-out in web pages or popular text editors.

To make things more consistent the following changes have been made:

  • The virtual key code for the . and , are switched to reflect their true meanings. The . key now emits VK_OEM_PERIOD while the , key now emits VK_OEM_COMMA as expected.

  • The ^ key now emits VK_OEM_6 as it did on the traditional AZERTY layout.

  • The + key now emits VK_OEM_PLUS as it did on the traditionnal AZERTY layout.

  • The - key now emits VK_OEM_MINUS as expected.

Basically, the physical keys emit a more meaningly virtual key code where possible. A new virtual key code VK_OEM_MINUS is now supported. Whereas the virtual key code VK_OEM_1 , formely assigned to what was the $ key on the traditional layout (now the + key), is no longer emitted by the keyboard.
