non-QWERTY keyboards have incorrect input

[Ponali]

hi, my keyboard is in AZERTY, which is the normal type of keyboard for my country, but that causes some problems with input. keys like "," turn into "m" and vice-versa, "a" turns into "q" and vice-versa.
with my DOM JS experience, this could be an issue with the keyboard script(s) because it tries to get a QWERTY-reliant value, which doesn't happen with "key" and the deprecated "keyCode". this is just some of my speculation however.

it tries to get a QWERTY-reliant value, which doesn't happen with "key" and the deprecated "keyCode".

v86 uses event.code, that uses standard QWERTY physical keys layout and not depends by host keyboard layout (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/code#handle_keyboard_events_in_a_game), and convert to BIOS key codes.

v86/src/browser/keyboard.js

Line 316 in c69cbd7

var code = codemap[e.code];

v86/src/browser/keyboard.js

Lines 122 to 126 in c69cbd7

	// Mapping from event.code to scancode
	var codemap = {
	"Escape": 0x0001,
	"Digit1": 0x0002,
	"Digit2": 0x0003,

Workaround is setting on guest OS needed for you layout (for example, via loadkeys, demo: https://copy.sh/v86?profile=archlinux&c=loadkeys%20fr)
