I can confirm. It work on RELEASE but not on PRESS.
It seems that ACCENT_GRAVE is acting as a "dead key" in the French layout.

wm_event_do_handlers: Handling event
wmEvent  type:171 / UNKNOWN, val:1 / PRESS,
         shift:0, ctrl:0, alt:0, oskey:0, keymodifier:0, is_repeat:0,
         mouse:(1086,1016), ascii:'`', utf8:'`', pointer:0x7fad123c5508

wm_event_do_handlers: Handling event
wmEvent  type:229 / ACCENT_GRAVE, val:2 / RELEASE,
         shift:0, ctrl:0, alt:0, oskey:0, keymodifier:0, is_repeat:0,
         mouse:(1086,1016), ascii:'', utf8:'', pointer:0x7fad12163748

I found that there was some other key acting the same way like the "$" one and the "@"

Unsupported key is not a bug. Some keyboards have more keys than others and these extra keys have often not been mapped by Blender.
But if I understood correctly the comment of @jenkm, the same key works with RELEASE and does not work with PRESS?
Can you confirm?
If so, this looks like a bug.

There is another report #62456 related to the "dead key" feature which is not resolved but closed.

It works fine if you have U.S. layout, or ABC-Extended. If I change it to British-PC, the ``` key changes to {key \ } and it no longer works even if I press {key alt \ } which should type {key `}. As Alphisto mentioned there in #62456#812071, all the layouts will have to be mapped to US one if this is to be fixed..

The bug described in #62456, with Option + E, Option + U, Option + I, Option + N, Option + ~ keys is present with U.S. and ABC-Extended layout. Although it may depend on type of apple keyboard "US English" (ANSI type) or "International English" (ISO type).

I'm not sure if it's possible to use a French keyboard with an English layout, because it has completely different printed letters on the keys.

I think I had read it as French input source, instead of printed keys being in French.
Will confirm since printed keys should be registered correctly,
@oolso Could you make a temporary standard account to see what is the default input source with French keyboard? (since there are 6 in mine under French language)

Hey, sure @ankitm, i'll be happy to help, what do you mean by "standard account" ?

Ankit Meel commented

2020-05-09 14:48:23 +02:00

User account, in System Preferences.
Then switch to the new user account and see what is the Input Source there.
You can then switch to original and delete the newer one.

Allright, I just did it, the standard input source is the one called "French - Numerical"

There is also unresolved #65194.
So this report, #65194 and #62456 have the same kind of reason, probably with a common solution.

In all other programs, shortcuts work in any keyboard language. Figma, All Adobe, Corel, all Microsoft.
This is a mistake, and very interfering with work.

Hello, I struggling learning blender with this similar issues on MacPro or iMacPro OSX 10.13 or 11.6 with Blender 3.x with a QWERTZ Swiss French Layout as well. Unable to use Preferences > Keymap I'm trying to replace all ` key by § as for example. Always have "Unsupported key: Unknown" the highlighted blue button "Press a key" does not record "ctrl §" for instance. Why ? Thx !
