Description

This is after having selected "105-Keys International" layout on Keymaps preflet.

The ones I care about (as in: the ones I can, or need to, use due to the weird mix of keyboards you can get in Argentina):

  • Latin-American
  • Spanish
  • US-International

But there are more that show an empty/not-assigned "right Win" key.

Compounding this with the lack of a separate AltGr, can make things uglier than it should.

Not having that key assigned, means, among other things, that you don't get a "right side CTRL" key if you use "Win/Lin" mode, which can add to the confusion.

I think, that, at the very least, the currently unmapped key should default to B_COMMAND_KEY.

(I would prefer it to be B_OPTION_KEY as it should, and have right ALT be AltGr... but that's a different can of worms in Haiku).

In the French keymaps it is set to B_COMMAND_KEY. I think we can adjust these 3 (and others in the same situation) to do the same, until we have a proper distinction of AltGr and OPTION.

Nah! There's #6442 already.
