I don't > think this is a hack. Hi David, Yes I saw earlier you linked to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/dd375731%28v=vs.85%29.aspx . Using a UK keyboard, even Microsoft programs display CTRL + = in the input box and the menu when you set a shortcut by holding CTRL and pressing the +/= key. This is the sense in which what Widgets does looks like a "hack" - UK users who who regularly change shortcuts on Windows will be expecting that combination will produce CTRL + = . To me it looks like non-Widgets programs are doing the "correct thing" e.g. if I change the default input language to Dutch, then an existing CTRL + = shortcut in a Visual Studio menu changes to CTRL + +. When I have actually changed the input language to Dutch, then holding CTRL with the + key appears as CTRL ++ in the text input box for setting the shortcut. > Re: testing on non us/uk keyboards - I meant changing the operating system > setting for the language layout of the keyboard rather than having to use > an actual non us/uk keyboard. OK, so are non US/UK keyboards completely standard? If I find one Danish layout image on the web e.g.: http://store.aramedia.com/shopimages/products/normal/kb-lpdanish.jpg ? then all Danish layouts will be like this? For Danish, Wikipedia does not seem to list a layout. Gale |
