yep, indeed...

If you're going to use that script for your own, then it's ok. But don't publish it for others to use since those keys might not even be on the user's keyboard.

I am probably going to publish it but I could remove this feature.

I think I have fixed the problem by comparing the key code with the result of VkKeyScanW and the character's ASCII code :)

EDIT: and it's not a very uncommon key.... I'm fairly certain almost all keyboards have it, as it's used within plus! as well :P
