Do you know particular commit in lwjgl which fixes this problem?
Does minecraft except shift + <number> or symbol which is created with shift + <number>? Does lwjgl 2 even support modifier keys?

Thank you for your response.

When I switch on the keyboard CS:
- 1-9 hotbar slot (Minecraft is not able to detect key)
- shift+1-9 hotbar slot (1-9 hotbar slot is functional but I have to hold the shift key)
- shift+click (does not work)

I do not know which version fixes this problem, but the latest version is "3.0.0b build 64" www.lwjgl.org/download

This problem has a lot of people by a bug report on the Mojang...

it looks that this problem has disappeared because it was dealt update "lwjgl"

MC does not support lwjgl 3.0 (and probably won't).

Do you have links for cases which were solved by updated lwgl? Cases with fixed lwjgl version preferred.

Edit: 2.9.4-nightly-20150209 is newest we might be able to ship with FTB launcher. Using other versions than mojang ships requires manual fixes.

First: How to reproduce bug? What to do/click in MC? Does inventory need to be opened? What should it do/what it actually does?

That list does not make any sense. Did you just copy pasted some random bugs containing keyboard problems? (Most of the links are dupes) Does that list contain bug which is identical with your problem?

Also why did you say this problem is fixed with lwjgl update?

I not understand what I already wrote my problem.

These are not random links!!! All the problems that I sent are caused by the same bug lwjgl!!!
Sure, I wrote that I do not know if the new version lwjgl solve the problem!

But it's possible because they have this problem partly been suggested solutions (lwjgl by update history log)

Can't reproduce with current description. Can't even open inventory after setting layout to CS. Other non-us qwerty layout(fi) works fine. Items can be moved into/from hotbar with shift+click. (Still not sure if this is the problem.)

My recommendation: try vanilla mc, try newer vanilla releases. Is it fixed in 1.8? in Which version? If not consider reopening some of those bugs in mojang's jira. Or create new bug.

OK. Friendly user told me that correct layout for setxkbmap is "cz" not "cs". Now I had correct Czech QWERTY layout to test:

  1. shift + "number" changes selected hotbar item as excepted
  2. If I rebind Hotbar Slow 1-9 with +ěš...í selected item can be changed without using shift key as excepted (works only with 1.8.x. I tested only 1.8.9) Note that rebinding does not work with 1.7.10 even if you use newest lwjgl build which is used by 1.8.9 => changes have been made into MC's codebase.
LWJGL reads key events from operating system which have translated raw hardware events to keys using users' active keyboard layout. LWJGL does not know about users' keyboard layout and does not care about layout.

- shift+click (does not work)

Does it work with vanilla? Does it work with newer versions? https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/commit/40694134ab3bf7d692c42692bc13e2cbe53d7d03 might fix this but can't reproduce the problem and mojang does not ship lwjgl version with that commit
