Sylvania, Thanks for the detailed reply. I agree with you that consistency between the OS and applications is more important then applying strict localized schemes. I have checked a number of applications in different languages and noticed that many just stick with the English shortcut scheme. And what about supporting both the international and localized shortcuts if possible? So CTRL A and CTRL E (Spanish) for select all, CTRL F and CTRL B (Spanish) for find? Things get complicated using an application through a browser (in our case) as now shortcuts may be taken already. In that case consistency can be both good (consistency) and bad (user expects a browser find using CTRL F, not a find function in the application that runs in the browser).
Can I post your reply to our community forum? https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2611178&forum_id=886353 Thanks Rob User Experience Architect Openbravo, S.L. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
