The locale shortcut fix is one step but isn't perfectly usable now because of
the very limited range of available (US English) keys. Many keys of non-US
English keyboard layouts cannot be used today--but these keys would be easier
for non-US English locale users to use and would avoid dislocate their fingers
to use them ;-).

Haven't said anything about hiding shortcut that are less used. I meant that a
shortcut like Ctrl+# is possible with a German keyboard layout but not with an
US English keyboard layout - so Ctrl+# shouldn't or need not to be available
for US English locale. The same is valid vice versa: Ctrl+; isn't possible with
a German keyboard layout (as US English ';' key is 'รถ' in German) so this can
be hidden there, but must be shown for US English keyboard layout.
