I agree with AnMaster, That is the main (and difficult) problem with the users who don't have the "luck" to use an English Keyboard. I recently worried that when ( july or august 2005) Melchior Franz proposed to study and to find an "elegant" way to solve within FG the keyboard mapping, nobody answered to his proposal , probably because there is a majority within the FG community who use that "standard" English Keyboard. So the 'non English Keyboard' users have only the solution to build their own customized keyboard , their Eyes to Cry :( .
