Keyboard layout issue, "?" not working

[RasmusB]

On the layout pictured below, pressing shift and period should result in a "?", but instead returns ">".

This really isn't a bug, though. If I press shift and period, the firmware sends a shift and a period over USB. And on a PC keyboard, a shifted period is ">".

What I did in my copy is set up a bunch of arrays for each of the modifiers, shift/FN/Ctrl, one array for the mapped-to key to send, as well as another for the modifier.

Instead of sending the modifiers as normal scanned key-presses, sendKeys checks the modifiers separately and uses the appropriate mapping array values to send it.

This lets me do arbitrary mapping, to handle weirdness like this.

Yes, a "quirk" label would have been more appropriate :)

I have refrained from adding layout-specific code to the firmware as far as possible, but for some users (like yourself) it has been the only option. Mapping the backspace/del key properly is impossible under Windows for example.

I have thought about porting a more mature keyboard firmware to the board, such as QMK. That way, users would have access to mature tools to edit the keymap without having to write code.
