Ctrl+Shift+0 bindkey doesnt work on layout XL

Expanize

Hi Everyone

For some reason this doesn't work for me:

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>)" "printf(\"hello world\")")

Every key that use shift (such as ! , @ , # , $ ,etc..) works great with Ctrl. Only ")" doesn't work. I've tried many combinations to bypass this and failed. Can anyone please advise?

I'm using ICADVM20.1

Thanks!

    It works for me, but this may be keyboard-dependent. Can you try using the Options->Bindkey tool, pick the application and then press the "+" button to add a bindkey (or click in the box of an existing bindkey) and then press shift-ctrl-0 on your keyboard - it should show you the mapping that is understood for that key.

    Thanks Andrew for the quick reply!

    You made me realize this is actually a Windows issue since i've already tried a few keyboards (and it doesn't happen only to me)
    A small google search got me here:
    https://excelatfinance.com/xlf18/xlf-change-key-sequence.php

    this is for help for an Excel thing but still, it happens to to be something with changing languages,, now fixed.
