This was the point of my previous post - if mIRC (or more likely: windows) don't put the "right" (desired) chars in the editbox in the moment of text
input, how should forced coding of these "wrong" chars, in the moment of sending text, fix it?
@Tohe
So your problem is that the same keystrokes create different chars in e.g. the url editbox of your webbrowser or a text editor, and in the editboxes of mIRC.
While it won't solve your problem in principle - you *should* be able to type in every application with the default keyboard layout - it could be a workaround to assign Māori to a keyboard layout shortcut, and press this shortcut inside mIRC (once for every mIRC session).
Note that with these shortcuts you don't switch your keyboard layout for the whole system but for a single application (at least on WinXP). Example: I sometimes need to switch between a german ("qwertz") keyboard layout and an english ("qwerty") keyboard layout. German is the default keyboard setting on my system. If I switch now to the english keyboard layout in Notepad via shortcut, mIRC is still set to the german keyboard, thus I have to press the shortcut for English there as well to set mIRC to English. And if I switch mIRC back to German, Notepad is still set to English.
In WinXP you find the shortcut option at: "Regional and Language Options" > "Language" > "Details" = "Text Services and Input Languages" > "Key Settings"
Hope it's working and sufficient, as I don't have further ideas at the moment...
