Does this problem occur on J2SE 5.0.x or 6.0? Yes / No (pick one)
Yes
Operating System Configuration Information (be specific):
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Bug Description:
KeyEvent is still missing VK values for many keyboards.
This is related to RFE 4068241 and all the reports related to that one.
Using a Hebrew Keyboard the keys i) [, < Tav] ii) [. > Final Tzadeek] and iii)
[; : Final Fay] all map to VK_UNDEFINED.
Likewise with a Danish Keyboard (and I assume also Norwegian) the keys for their last
3 letters of the alphabet i) [ae] ii) [oe] iii) [aa] also all map to VK_UNDEFINED.
In the case of Hebrew the other Hebrew letters map to the English letters on the same
key (like Alef maps to VK_T) which is fine, for the 3 problem keys there already mappings
to the English Symbols on the same key (for example using Hebrew [' " ,] maps to VK_COMMA)
so it would not help to make [, < Tav] map to VK_COMMA, as that would cause a Comma to be
typed instead of a Tav.
This makes Screen Recording and Playing back very difficult as these 6 keys (3 in each
language) can not be recorded.
