+### Fixes

+- **Keys are physical positions on Windows and macOS, whatever the layout** - `Input.key_down('w')`
+  is the key above S on every keyboard.
+
+  - **Windows** keyed the held set by the character the active layout gave a virtual key, so
+    a game's WASD belonged to whatever the layout put there: on AZERTY W and A were other
+    keys, and with an input method on (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) every letter arrived as
+    VK_PROCESSKEY and no letter key worked at all. The typing block is now read from the
+    scancode; the arrows, the numpad and the F-keys still go by virtual key, and the frame
+    key (`Input.key`, typing) keeps the layout's character.
+  - **macOS** did the same through `charactersIgnoringModifiers`; it now reads `keyCode`.
+  - **`Input.key_label(key)`** names a key for the player in their own layout - `'w'` shows
+    as "W" on QWERTY and "Z" on AZERTY - so a game that shows its bindings never shows a
+    key the player cannot find. Windows reads the layout; headless, macOS and the browser
+    give the US character.
