Deadkeys cannot be accepted as input to a Windows 95 Console application
even when the appropriate keyboard layout is selected. ReadConsoleInput()
cannot read in deadkeys on Windows 95.
For example, pressing the circumflex (^)(the ~/` key on US keyboards) and then the letter e should produce an e with the circumflex on top. However, the combination keys do
not print in a console application on a system running Windows 95 with a
German keyboard selected.
CAUSE
Some of the code handling deadkey input to the console is missing from
Windows 95.
