German Keyboard Issues

Hey, this bug has been in the engine since I started using it
and I just wanted to know if it is being worked on.

With the default Editor Keybindings it is impossible to open the console on a German keyboard,
pressing ^ or ` does absolutely nothing!

In other threads it has regularly been suggested to rebind the console key as a workaround (since 2014)
which cannot be a permanent solution for this problem, it also wont help if you want to play around with a development build from someone else.

Pressing F10 to “Step” while debugging Blueprints also seems to be broken btw.

Changing the keyboard language to English does not help.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi JR4815,

The reason this has not gotten any significant attention is because it is not a high priority issue because of the present workaround. It is up to developers to add support for various keyboard shortcuts to their game.

There is an option to add a new key to open the console in project settings>input. If the dev wishes to support QWERTZ or AZERTY keyboards, they must add these shortcuts themselves.
