[Fixed 2.6 Beta] Api: Key Handler "key.character" Doesn't

As the title says.
Was already a known problem, just making an official issue for it now.

VV: Lets please use the Google Code issue tracker for such things. Or post it here in “technical questions & answers”.

Sorry… I considered the google issue tracker only for Script issues, not Renoise API issues itself.

But btw: I really would like get all those character grabbing hacks removed, instead of partially trying to support this.

Only text fields can grab text. There’s IME (to enter stuff like Japanese & co with a western styled keyboard). All this won’t work with the “character” hack anyway.
What you want is keeping a textfield focus sticky.

So please lets at least not copy and paste this hack into every single tool.

Well, i already noted on your comment the sticky option was my favorite.
It would be my pleasure to trade in the full character support option for this.
The note-value is handy though -> Then it doesn’t matter if you have QWERTY or AZERTY or QWERTZ etc keyboard,

Yay. All I want is avoiding to copy and paste this hack int all the other tools. Lets please solve this correctly or not at all…
