In Windows 8 Enterprise acSendKeys('@d') (Show desktop command) did not work, if selected Russian input language. If input language English - a command is executed normally, the desktop is shown.

I changed lua script:
<quote=code>
acSendKeys('^1') -- in my system it changes input language to English
acSendKeys('@d')
</quote>
It's working - the desktop is shown. But... It's not conveniently...

Whether it is possible to correct behavior acSendKeys in Windows 8?

Version info:
* StrokesPlus x84 v2.5.4 Release date: 1/4/2013 Signed and installed in "C:\Program Files" directory according to recommendations.
* Windows 8 x64 Enterprise.

Thanks for attention also excuse for my English...

By the way, the same problems are watched with CTRL+ <letter> combinations. For example, in this way acSendKeys incorrectly sends ^w.

Yes, there are locale issues with other keyboard layouts. Someone else reported this several months back:

Internationalization is not my strong area, but is something I'll see if I can figure out. S+ really needs to be rewritten from scratch to support Unicode and address other internationalization issues (like displaying complex characters in acDisplayText()).

When I started making S+, I was new to C++ WinAPI and really never thought it was going to become used around the world

you may send acSendKeys command to change language of keyboard shift + alt (so default maybe russian and seccondary english) then you send win+d = desktop so you send again shift + alt to switch back in russian the keyboard!

quite simple
