Liz Lee <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|DUPLICATE |--- Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #2 from Liz Lee <[email protected]> --- the problem goes far beyond the shortcut keys list supposedly being based on the us-layout: 1. The shortcut keys list is certainly not based on the US layout, because both of the following list entries are present [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[;] and [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[:] as i stated above, [;] and [:] share the same key in us layout, [;] being lower-case and [:] being upper-case. it therefore does not make any sense to list both of them in combination with the [Shift]-modifier. so let's have a look at what happens when using the us-layout and assigning [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[;] and [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[:] to different shortcuts, e.g.: [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[;] => Italic [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[:] => Bold Hitting [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[;: key] results in the font style being changed to Bold. It can therefore be assumed that even if the [Shift]-modifier is contained in the shortcut key combination, the "main-character" (i.e. the lower-case character] is used to denominate the character key. the combination [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[:] should therefore not be present at all in the list, yet it is. it even works on other layouts, e.g. the german layout, where [;] and [:] do NOT share the same key. therefore the key combinations are NOT based on the us layout. Another example is the combination [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[#]. the "main-character" of [#] on the us-layout is [3], yet [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[3] is present in the list too. 2. even IF it were based on the us layout, there are still important combinations missing: [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[/ or ?] [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[- or _] [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[\ or |] 3. even IF it were based on the us layout, this would not solve the problem that the process of assigning shortcuts via a list is overly complicated and should be replaced by a process that simply let's the user type in the desired combination. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
