Hotkey issue in Browser (azerty vs querty)

[dbriard]

Describe the bug
On a french PC, when I press the 'a' key in a TextBox, that append 'a' to the text.
However, when I press Ctrl+a to Select All, that also add 'a' to the text.
When I check the KeyDown event to see why the hotkey do not work as expected, the Key contains Q, not A. Same for Ctrl+Z which is Ctrl+W in the hotkey check, etc...
(I press the physical 'A' key on my azerty keyboard)

If I want to select All, I have to type Ctrl+Q in browser at the moment.

@maxkatz6 I think this is why you cannot repro this issue in my other ticket. You probably are on a english PC with querty keyword.

This is probably due to to the Browser (see Additional context below), do you think I have to handle that in my code (with convertion table), of can you do something in Avalonia?

• OS: Windows 10, Edge browser, french PC
• Version 11 preview 6

Additional context
On collegue that worked with angular told me that when he receive key event, if he press Ctrl+a:
event.code => Key.Q
event.value => 'a'
so he had to check the control modifier and event.value for the hotkey...
and ctrl+shift+a => event.value is 'A' (uppercase when shift is also pressed), but event.code is still Key.Q.

Hi @maxkatz6 , I am wondering if you have seen this bug report and if it could be fixed for v11?
It is really anoying and should be fixed at Avalonia level IMO. I think it require some kind of querty to azerty remap table when running in browser. See additional context above.

Thank you.
