I’m playing DDA on a laptop and my character has some clothes on which are assigned to # and { but I don’t know why the game doesn’t recognize all those “ctrl+alt” characters and I can’t rebind those items because I’m wearing them.

Any help would be appreciated, Dr. Hylke van der Schaaf really wants to take his boots off 😕

Oh, it is a common problem in my laptop too. Try to change laguage in the windows bar, sometimes helps.
