Summary0005268: Alt Gr button doesn't work properly
DescriptionThis affects perhaps only some keyboard layouts. I'm using Swedish keyboard layout and reproduced it on Norwegian as well.
When in edit mode in any field I'm unable to enter some special characters.
e.g.
@ (Alt Gr+2)
£ (Alt Gr+3)
$ (Alt Gr+4)
I've have deletes all the hotkeys involving Alt.

I guess this is the case for all layouts which uses Alt Gr to enter some special character.
To reproduce change the keyboard to Swedish or Norwegian in regional settings.
The bug is present in 3.0 as well.

@BEX
Have you tried to use LEFT CTRL+LEFT ALT+2,3,4

And BTW I'm able to replicate with Alt Gr(Right ALT)+5 = € on US International keyboard layout.

Alt Gr(Right ALT)+2 executes the "Rating now playing track: rate 2 stars"
Alt Gr(Right ALT)+5 executes the "Rating now playing track: rate 5 stars"

1. We could take similar approach like for single hotkeys (issue 0004065) so that hotkeys would not be applied at all when editing (currently it is fixed for single hotkeys only).

2. Check why Alt Gr(Right ALT)+2 triggers the hotkey despite the fact hotkey is defined as "Ctrl+Alt+2"

@Peke,
Yes but it produces the same behavior.

@Ludek,
I think nr 1 is sufficient because that would eliminate nr 2, wouldn't it?

Both 1 & 2 fixed in build 1221 + fixed some other regressions and tweaks.

Re: 1) There is taken similar approach like in 0004065, hotkeys don't trigger when editing and also don't trigger on dialogs like "Options", "Track Properties", etc. (only global hotkeys triggers on the dialogs)

No, Gr(Right ALT)+2 should trigger "Rating selected" and not "Rating Now Playing" as defined in Options -> Hotkeys by default.
