Dots replaced by semicolon

Post by Pichar56 »

Hello everyone,
I'm a new XMBC user
Version: v2.20.5.
Version installed
Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64 bits
Mouse Logitech MX Master 3S
12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600K 3686 Mhz 32Gb RAM
Keyboard Logitech MX Keys AZERTY French
I want to assign my e-mail address to button 5
In a text editor (Notepad++) I click on button 5: the configured text is entered in the editor, but the dots are replaced by semicolons
When I look at the contents of the XMBCSettings.xml configuration file, I find my e-mail address correctly spelled.
Do you have a solution for me? Thanks in advance.

I can only assume this is a language/keyboard layout issue...
I presume you have a French keyboard?

Looks like the ; and . keys are the same key on a French keyboard, but the . is shift+; ?
So you need to prefix the . with shift, just like you would have to do physically.
Does something like: user{shift}.name@gmail{shift}.com work??
