I use OnSpecialKeyDown event of jForm to catch keys from soft
keyboard.
If I use additional characters (language specific) - long press key
and then choose them - event is not fired.

How to catch this keys?

QuoteI use additional characters...

But, OnSpecialKeyDown is just for "Special" key ...

What "Special" key you need add??

I didn't know that OnSpecialKeyDown is only for 'special' keys,
because it works for most soft keys (on screen keyboard) as well.
It doesn't fire for keys when you long press a letter and then choose
letter above (I attached example for letter 'A').

So OnSpecialKeyDown isn't proper way to catch soft keys. What is
proper way of doing this (like OnKeyDown form event in LCL)?
