Can't type in arobase or accentuated char from Windows Chrome

[anthony-o]

I've installed ttyjs 0.2.15 on a Linux server (actually inside a Docker container) and all was working fine since I accessed it from my Linux Chromium.

Now I'm connecting to the server ttyjs from a Windows 7 Chrome "44.0.2403.157 m", and I can't type "@" or any other accentuated character into the TTY... so I can't use ssh for example :(

Is there anything to do to fix this?

I've tried to debug it, it seems linked to the fact that I'm using a french keyboard and that for typing in "@" I must type "Alt Gr"+"0" and in term.js, line 2851, if (!key || ev.ctrlKey || ev.altKey || ev.metaKey) return false; it returns false as both ev.ctrlKey & ev.altKey are true (for information key equals to 64 here)...

The problem is that I'm unable to copy / paste to the term, Ctrl-A+Ctrl-V is not working neither...

I fixed this with a potentially ugly workaround, replaced the line 2851 with if (!key || (ev.ctrlKey || ev.altKey || ev.metaKey) && !String.fromCharCode(key)) return false;

Nevertheless, this workaround doesn't fix the typing-in accentuated characters (for instance, I've got a direct keyboard key "ù" on my keyboard, when I type in this, the Term outputs (arg: 9)).

Ttyx (https://github.com/risacher/ttyx) is a fork of tty.js that replaces term.js with xterm.js, updates socket.io to version 1.x, and updates Express to version 4.x. The keyboard handling code is noticeably different between xterm.js and term.js, and I would be very interested to know if your issue occurs with ttyx.
