Reproduction steps:
- type a single or double quote in the editor
Result:
nothing appears. The cursor also doesn't move. Simply nothing happens.
On Windows 10 with United States Internation keyboard layout (English language United States)
Is this something I should configure? I don't have this problem in Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2019 and 2022.
Thanks for any info!

Welcome elephiantAre you talking about running QB64.exe and using the IDE?
Print "Hello"
Does not work? |

Thanks for your reply bplus. Yes I simple start the IDE and type in it and some characters do nothing. When I past your Print "Hello" line it works fine and It runs fine. Some other characters also don't appear (` ~ ^). When I paste these characters they do appear and it works fine (but pasting quotes everytime isn't nice). So it kinda looks like a keyboard layout or language issue, but I have United States International as keyboard with English (US) as language on Windows 10 and have not experienced something like this in other IDE's (or any other program). I currently have no idea where I should look for a problem. |

bplus My settings are all on English (US) (see below). I tried downloading it again and extracting it in a new folder but the behavior is the same. Is there a way to try older versions?

BTW are you extracting to Desktop, Downloads or Documents?
Because Windows owns C:\Programs don't go anywhere near C:\ or C:\Windows either!

I tried the version from your link and an older version (3.3.0 from github) but had the same problem so this seems not a new(ish) bug. If more people had this, it would have been discussed before I would expect. So it kinda looks like a combination of something in the IDE and the environment. I just don't know how to find out what it is  . If you (or anyone) has any ideas it is very much appreciated. |

I've not come across this and it certainly looks like bplus has done a pretty thorough job trying to get to the bottom of it using the *standard* approaches. With that said, there is another thing that could potentially be looked at here... given that the QB64 application itself is a compiled QB64 application, one could try to reproduce what *might* be happening by writing a program that reads keyboard entry in the same manner as the QB64 ide... meaning does `Inkey$` (https://qb64.com/wiki/INKEY$), as an example, work as one would expect in your own program? You also mention that VSCode is working without issue; so I'll share that in my own personal usage of QB64 I actually utilize VSCode nearly 100% of the time using github.com/QB64Official/vscode/tree/main/releasesThe QB64 VSCode extension isn't published in the extensions *store*, but you can download the latest .vsix to install it manually. Provides for some code formatting, error checking and has full access to the help directly within VSCode - and you can press F5 to build/run. Additionally, can jump to method as well as a host of other *free* features that come along with being in VSCode. I recognize that this doesn't solve the problem you are having within the QB64 IDE, but it might be a way to have what could potentially be a *better* experience given that you already have experience using VSCode (as mentioned above). |

Statesman has suggested we check your font setting, are you on default setting, not using an monospaced font of your own specification I use default and looks like this:  IDE > Options > Display no monospaced font nor [ ] box checked |
