(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest net release.) Careful examination shows that they not just non-functional, but rather behave strangely, for example, with NumLock off, keys on numeric keyboard work, until you press usual cursor keys, when even numeric stop working, but they start working again after hitting alphanumeric key, etc. This reported to happen on localized versions of Win98 and Win95, and not specific to Cygwin; there are known cases of Alt+Enter (fullscreen/windowed toggle) not working and shifts sticking with other programs. The cause of this problem is Microsoft keyboard localizer which by default installed in ‘autoexec.bat’.
