Curious, is it always the same symbol with different keys (i.e.
something messed up in the C++ code that processes keys)  or does it
vary depending on what the key-binding is?  Might be useful to export
one or two of the faulty keys to a file so we can take a peek at what is
stored there.  Finally - which version of Mudlet is that...?

I was just looking at some of the code in that area and in passing noted
that I couldn't catch every key on my keyboard with the grab key button
- but that is not entirely surprising when messing with the Compose key!
(I'm in the UK with an en-GB locale but I've just got my hands on a
second-hand Italian keyboard for future research when I get around to it
{easier to change locale and use a native keyboard then remembering
multiple key-presses whilst holding Compose down}) 8-O

In the same way some OSs can get different things out of the keyboard at
different time (in different modes) and sometimes that will involve more
than one character so if Mudlet is responding to the first code
(combined with modifiers such as Control or Alt) then a further code
comes along then the later one will appear as if pressed separately.
Unfortunately Numerical Keypad and Function keys sometimes behave like this.

Title:
  ALT + Numeric keypad shortcut keys leave command prompt noise

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  New

Bug description:
  When setting up short cut keys using ALT+Num7, or ALT+Num8 (where Num7
  and Num8 would be numeric keypad keys) it leaves control characters in
  the command prompt.  The desired effect is achieved, eg I use the
  keypad to slow walk Num2 = south, Num8 = north, etc and this works
  fine, but if I use ALT+Num2 to squint north it will squint north, but
  it will also leave rubbish in the command prompt.

  This is very frustrating to clear constantly, especially when your
  trying to locate an enemy in battle and need to clear your prompt
  before your next command.

  Mudlet version 2.0, Windows 7.
