While using my keyboard's numpad to input values into various settings for things like Nodes, there is the issue with the ISO layout (or at least the QUERTY-SE/FI/NO layout) having the numpad point symbol output a comma for decimals, as per their standard. Patchd does not recognize this, and as soon as a comma is used in an entered value it invalidates whatever you have put in and replaces it with a standard value. I recognize that this is a minor issue and that it is easily bypassed by using the actual point key on the keyboard, but it has tripped me up more than once when tuning values to reach ideal settings. Is this something that could be altered/fixed by allowing a toggle in settings for which decimal standard you use, or by automatically converting commas to points and thus not resetting an input?

That's definitely something we can fix, and we've added it to our next update. Right now Patchd only reads a point as the decimal mark when you type a value. A comma ends the number, so 2,5 is read as 2, and a value that starts with a comma is thrown away and the old value comes back. The EQ's typed frequency, gain and Q boxes do the same.
After the update, Patchd reads a comma as a decimal point everywhere you can type a value, so the numpad key on a Nordic layout just works, with no setting to change.
Until then, the point key on the main keyboard gets around it.
Great, a small but very appreciated feature to look forward to!
