Feature Request

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

Some games have issues with non-us keyboard layouts on vanilla Wine and Proton. The most common issue I've faced is the inability to open the ingame console in games such as Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl and Skyrim.

Wine-staging includes a patch that fixes the issue. I think that Proton should include this patch since being able to access the ingame console is important, especially when you are modding the games.

The patch in question:

Agreed. That is a serious issue for many Bethesda games.

@ritalat There was some work for this issue included in Proton 6.3-1. Are you still seeing the problem on the 6.3 branch?

I tried this in 6.3-3 and I can open the console just fine now, even with a Swedish keyboard layout selected.

Yeah, this seems to be fixed in 6.3. Thank you!
