I think I found the problem with entering new shortcuts in the preferences
dialog, it was broken for US keyboards as well. If you tried to enter
shift+2 it would show shift +@.

I couldn't find a good solution for the default shortcuts though, the only
documentation I found said to have localized shortcuts but that's also not
correct because someone using a US keyboard with the french locale would
then get the wrong keys.
