Dear fellow KDE mates,

it came to my attention that following the advice from *khelpcenter
*about the*khotkeys *(see bash lines below) is not a good idea since the
info given is in some concrete cases just plain wrong and must lead to
the user's confusion.

Example: The German language khelpcenter advises users as follows: "Dies
betrifft auch Sonderzeichen. Um zum Beispiel das Zeichen @ mit einem
US-Amerikanischen Tastatur einzugeben, tragen Sie Shift+2 ein."
(meaning: hit Shift+2 for the @ sign a.k.a. "at-sign") which is
incorrect on 99% of all keyboards. @ really is *AltGr+Q* . This comes on
top of khotkeys itself giving plain wrong elucidations, since actual
code-instruction literals were put in German; e.g. "Umschalt+A", instead
of keeping "Shift+A" as the English word "Shift+A". Though this
blatantly obvious, no one seemed to have noted this.


If you give me a link to some git-repo or something, I can fix those
texts. Thank You! I am running a 2020 current  KDE Neon (i.e. Debian)
distro.



I am referring to these bash instructions:

*LANG="en"    kcmshell5 khotkeys*

*/usr/bin/khelpcenter   help:/kcontrol/khotkeys/index.html *
