badge pastes character codes that don't match up with keyboard layout

[shadow-absorber]

when editing the keys to send https://github.com/shadow-absorber on a swedish iso keyboard you get the garbled output of httpsÖ--github.com-shadow+absorber instead of the expected link.... changing the keyboard layout of the entire system on ubuntu 20.04 fixes the bug temporarily but is not a graceful solution

changing the keyboard input method to english us fixes the problem temporarily but doing that everytime you want to use the key buttons is obviously troublesome

This is a limitation of the way HID keyboards work. They send keys based on the default (US ANSI) keyboard layout and the computer modifies the keystrokes based on the localization setting. This was done so that keyboard manufacturers didn't have to change hardware/firmware for each language, just change keycaps.

You have a couple options:

1. add localization options to the badge (this would be a LOT of work that I don't have time for. If you have time, go for it!)
2. figure out what keys map to what in your localization and enter those keys into the badge instead. It'll look wrong going in, but should provide the correct output.

ah no experience with coding for this type of stuff so option 1 is out and option 2 feels like a lot of work figuring out what to do so going to hope someone else figures out what to do in the mean time shadow guess they are just going to switch the keyboard layout any time they want to use it to put out the code
