To access keyboard keys like \}][{ , I need to press
Alt Gr + those keys. But it doesn't work, the game just
says unkown command 'M-'.
BTW it works perfectly in nethack.
I have a swedish keyboard running win2000.
Please let us know which version of Slash'EM you are
running, where you got the binary from and what options you
are using (especially windowtype and altkeyhandler).
Thanks.

Same happens to me using Slashem 0.0.7E6 under Windows XP
with a Spanish keyboard. However, it does work fine with
Slashem GTK.
Alt Gr+3 generates 'Unknown command M-3'. Instead of showing
the extended command menu. (In the spanish keyboard the '#'
is generated with Alt Gr+3)
Alg Gr+p shows up the 'Pray' command, so does Alt Gr+a
(adjust) and other extended commands. However, Alt+a (or any
combination for that matter) does not work.
Windowtype is defined as 'MSWIN', altkeyhandler is 'default'
When using GTK Slashem, however, Alt Gr+3 shows up the
extended command menu. Alt Gr+p says 'There appears to be no
shopkeeper here to receive your payment' so it looks like
it's executing 'pay' instead of 'Pray'. Alt Gr+a executes
'apply' instead of 'adjust'. Alt+a (not Alt Gr) will work,
though, and executes 'adjust'.
In this case Windowtype is 'proxy/gtk' and 'altkeyhandler'
is 'default'.
It looks like the definition of meta keys for both
interfaces (native WIN and GTK) are different. The native
WIN interface treats Alt Gr as the meta key (and thus will
not allow me to introduce '#') whileas the GTK interface
will treat Alt as the meta key.

Thanks Javier. I can now see the problem using a German
keyboard which uses Alt Gr+- for backslash. This works for
the native MS-Windows GUI under NetHack, but fails as
described under Slash'EM.

I noticed similar effect. I could not use US-layout while playing
slashem. It insisted using my national (Estonian) layout even
when I switched windows keyboard to US layout.
It seems that default keyboard handler does not support
keyboard layout changes and uses default layout. Fortunately
there alternate drivers and 'OPTIONS=altkeyhandler:nhraykey.
dll' seems to work allright.
