using a special keyboard in livecode fields (in Windows 7)

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Rand,

When I choose a Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian or Hebrew keyboard on Windows, I can type in the respective language. This works in LiveCode up to and including 5.0.2. However, I need to click in a field first and set the keyboard afterwards.

> Hi, guys. Here’s another Unicode-related question. How can I use a Unicode keyboard to type in a Livecode field? I’m working with an American Indian language (called Hocąk), and I need to be able to type characters such as š, ǧ and ąą. I can put them into a field with Unicode commands, but when I try and type in a field using the special keyboard (a system-level thing), the keyboard seems to be ignored. Is there some trick to this? Thanks so much.
