            Bug ID: 52174
           Summary: Guild Wars 2: Accent keys (^ and ´) don't work for
                    ingame controls
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.23
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: lingm+winebz at posteo.org
      Distribution: ---

The default key for swapping weapons in Guild Wars 2 with a German keyboard
layout is '^' (Circumflex accent). However, nothing happens if you press that
key to swap weapons under Wine.
You can type '^' in chat just fine though. Likewise, you can swap weapons if
you bind it to another key like 't' or if you press the swap button with the
mouse.

Once you change the binding away from ^, it is no longer possible to return to
^ since the dialog doesn't register the key press either. (You can still reset
all controls back to default; there's a button for that.)
Testing further, it turns out that you also can't bind the ´ key (Acute
accent). 

>From images online I do believe English keyboards have a ` (Grave accent)
button, which probably works the same as the German ^ and ` keys. To make sure
I'll spell it out anyway:
1. Press ^ once and you get a sort of preview of that character.
2. Usually you'd now press e.g. 'a' to get 'â'. If you actually want ^ without
anything below it, you have to press ^ a second time.

I suspect that this special behavior is why these two specifically are
affected.
It's very possible that the English ` is also affected, but that's not testable
for me.

The easiest way to reproduce should be to go Esc -> Options -> Control options
(lowest button on the left) -> Double click on anything to try to change the
binding.
