Running on Windows 7 64 bit.

I'm using an azerty layout (standard in Belgium):

new DesktopKeyboard().type("123");
it enters the following: &é"

These symbols are on the same keys as 123, but are normally activated by pressing SHIFT.

When I switch my keyboard layout in windows to English US everything works fine.

This makes it sound to me like it might be a Java problem (Sikuli uses the AWT Robot to perform its keyboard operations): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14034069/java-robot-check-symbol-key

We have a problem with Swedish keyboard layout, due to unsupported characters. For example "åäö".
It would be nice if we could extend the Key class to match our own layout, and have the robot use the new one. It is hardcoded and private right now.
