The "shift" key is not working (tried on 3 computers with different keyboards but all running ubuntu15.04 or 16.04).

This is a major issue as I'm unable to type the "@" sign when required in Blackwell Convergence (shift+2) which prevents me to get any further in the game. Quite frustrating indeed.

I've tried to find a workaround but could find a solution including in WadgetEye Forums.

Has anybody had the same problem ? Any solution ?

Ok. Answering to myself in case it could help someone else.

So I'm actually playing the gog linux version of the Blackwell games and they all seem to have the same problem i.e the "shift" "ctrl" and "alt" keys won't work.

So here's what I did to be able to play the games and continue my adventure :

1- I installed the gog windows version of the games using WINE (to find out I could not use my saves.)

2- I compiled the AGS engine on my system using this link : https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/blob/master/debian/README.md

3- I then ran the game with it using the windows versions I had installed with WINE and I was able to use my saves and continue my adventure. All keys are functional even with a French AZERTY keyboard layout.
