Bug ID: 53243
           Summary: Ctrl-number keys type the number, instead of sending
                    Ctrl-number
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.11
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Ctrl-number (Ctrl-2, Ctrl-6, etc.) types the number, does not send Ctrl-2,
Ctrl-6, etc.

In macOS Monterey (Intel), with wine-devel installed via Brew, and testing with
the 64-bit version of the vDos MS-DOS emulator. The MS-DOS word processor
WordPerfect for DOS uses Ctrl-2 and Ctrl-6, but with vDos under Wine, Ctrl-2
types "2" in the editing window and Ctrl-6 types "3" in the editing window.
Ctrl-letter keys like Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V work correctly; only Ctrl-number keys
don't work.

Ctrl-number keys work correctly in the DOSBox-X emulator on the same Mac. They
only fail to work under vDos.

Is it possible to fix this?

The component is probably winemac.drv. I should have specified this earlier.

The relevant code is of course in dlls/winemac.drv/keyboard.c - possibly around
lines 1600-1700 or that neighborhood. I can't see anything obvious that causes
Ctrl-alpha keys to work correctly but not Ctrl-number keys, but maybe a real
programmer will see what's happening.

And this does not seem to be a problem in WordPerfect for Windows running under
Wine. It's only a problem in WordPerfect for Windows running under vDos.exe. I
will explore this with the vDos author.

And the problem does not occur at the vDos DOS prompt, only in WordPerfect.
When I use the SCODE.COM utility at the vDos DOS prompt, it says that I've
typed Ctrl-2, not Ctrl-6. Something weird seems to be going on in WordPerfect's
keyboard, which only applies to Ctrl-numbers in vDos under Wine...

So the priority of this report should probably be zero.

The vDos programmer tested this and reports:

---------------------

This is reported pressing Ctrl-2 running under Windows:

uAct flags0: 4, flags1: 1, flagsw: 0, mode: 10, scancode: 3, type: 100,
unicode: 0

Under Wine:

uAct flags0: 4, flags1: 1, flagsw: 0, mode: 10, scancode: 3, type: 100,
unicode: 32

Wine reports an Unicode (actual character), likewise for Ctrl-6.

An easy fix would be to let the keyboard routine first check if Ctrl is down.
If so, set the Unicode parameter 0. No Ctrl key combination would result in a
character?

----------------------

Does this sound like something that can be changed in Wine? If Ctrl is down,
set Unicode parameter to 0??

Thanks for any help with this.
