Hello,

1) when entering an account name, the account separator would no longer accept
at the current level
 of the account tree and move to the next level
2) <SHIFT>+ and <SHIFT>- in a date field would not change the field by 1 week.

I confirmed both of them. Thank you for your pointing them out.

1) is easy to fix and I've already made a patch.
But it is necessary to discuss more on 2).

At first, I ask you two questions.
a) Which type is your keyboard layout.
b) What is the accurate action?

I suppose you use the US-ASCII keyboard layout or similar ones. The
relation between
keypress and keycode are as follows:
<keypress minus> = [keycode '-']
<keypress shift + minus> = [keycode '_']
<keypress equal> = [keycode '=']
<keypress shift + equal> = [keycode '+']

But most Japanese people (except me) use jp106 or traditional JIS layout.
Please see Wikipedia about keyboard layout.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout

The relation is:
<keypress minus> = [keycode '-']
<keypress shift + minus> = [keycode '=']
<keypress equal> = unknown
<keypress shift + equal> = unknown
<keypress shift + semicolon> = [keycode '+']
<keypress shift + backslash or Yen> = [keycode '_']

When I think other keyboard layouts, the situation is far complex.
What do you have ideas to resolve these complexity?

Many applications and guidelines take "keyboard acceleration with Alt
and/or Control"
and throw away "one keypress acceleration" in order to globalize themselves.

I think so too. But this is the way Gnumeric passed several years ago.
