Well, most people would rather learn Enregistrer is CTRL-S, rather than enregistrer in English is Save, so the shortcut must be CTRL-S. Even in English not all shortcuts have mnemonics: Paste is CTRL-V. I agree, life would be easier for software developers if everybody made the effort of learning that one lingua franca, but let's be realistic, this is not the world we live in. -- Christophe |
