Hi,
I’m using a Brazilian ABNT2 keyboard with Snap!, and I’ve noticed that some key presses occasionally don’t seem to register while testing my project. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with Snap!, my browser, or the keyboard itself.
Has anyone experienced this with an ABNT2 keyboard? What’s the best way to figure out where the problem is before I start changing my code?
Thanks!
Before changing your code, it makes sense to rule out the keyboard first. Since the problem only happens occasionally, it could be a browser input issue, but it could also be that one or two keys aren’t registering consistently.
A quick check is to open a keyboard tester and press each key several times, including the key combinations used in Snap!, to see if every press is detected. https://testeteclado.com.br/ is useful for this because it highlights each key as it’s registered, making it much easier to tell whether the issue is with the keyboard or somewhere else in the software stack.
If every key registers correctly there, the next step is to investigate the browser, Snap!'s input handling, or any extensions that might be interfering. If the same keys are missed in the tester, the problem is much more likely to be the keyboard itself or its drivers.
