Xmouse have to send english letter when keyboard swiched to english or send russian letter (on the same key) when keyboard swiched to russian. But it doesnt work at all when selected other language. Can you solve this pls

XMBC uses the standard Windows API SendInput to send the keys. It sends scan codes, but it has to convert the string (that you input0 into those scan codes, and if they don't convert using the current selected language, it wont be able to send the scan codes (and thus the keys will not be pressed). Im not sure what else I can do using SendInput. I have spent many hours on this in the past (semi-successfully - it was worse than it is now) and I just dont have the time to get that involved these days. It's really not that simple and I'm afraid just telling me that its possible isn't really much help. I have no idea what keyremapper does and what APIs it uses to do it - and its not OSS so I cant just go look.

I will add this to my bug list but I make absolutely no promises - this sort of thing is incredibly difficult for me to debug (esp. as I only have English keyboards and switching languages in Windows makes it near impossible for me to figure out whats going on and is not much use with only an English keyboard. More to the point, I don't have much time to spend on XMBC these days and there is already a massive backlist of issues to investigate so that's another reason you should not be under any illusion that this will be a quick fix. These things tend to get done in order (especially the complex ones) and theres about 5 years other issues ahead of this in the queue I'm afraid.
