    Hi,

     

     When I want to enter the char 'ę' (right alt+e) editor insert additional '€' so in the end it look like '€ę'. The same situation is with 'ć'. After pressing alt+c it give me '©ć'.

    I checked the CommandExecuting event and InsertText command is invoked twice.

    That's the main problem. 

    The following combinations also should not insert any character (at all): alt+r: ®, alt+t: ™, alt+u: €

     

    I am using keyboard polish (programmers) and polish language in Windows 10.

    Hi Dominik,

    Thank you for writing.

    Pressing the right Alt key together with the E key, by design adds the € symbol. You can override this by handling the PreviewEditorKeyDown event of the editor element and suppressing it. Please check my snippet below: 
    private void RichTextBoxElement_PreviewEditorKeyDown(object sender, Telerik.WinForms.Documents.PreviewEditorKeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Alt) == Keys.Alt )
        {
            e.SuppressDefaultAction = true;
            e.OriginalArgs.Handled = true;
        }
    }

    More information and examples are available here: Keyboard Support.

    I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
