Hi Oli,

Yes. left and right arrow keys should work in the Node and Area manager. Pressing enter is the same as 'F1 enter'. And typing letters does a search on the typed letters for an Area name in the Area Manager.

I noticed the same behaviour when I run FConfigW32.exe in https://reactos.org/
But that is not so strange because it is based on the same code as wine.

It seems to have to do with how the getch() function is implemented in the MingW compiler. The version in the old Borland Compiler seems to work in reactos, or so some tests I did seems to indicate.

A few years back I made a little test program that showed this when compiled with different compilers:

I added 2 versions compiled with the latest x64 version of mingw that came with the latest code::blocks 20.03. Probably not usefull for testing with wine. But on mijn Windows 10 x64 they all produce the same results for the function keys...

Bye, Wilfred.
