shortcuts vs non-english keyboard
shortcuts vs non-english keyboard
Many thanks for a new shortcut Ctrl++. But there is a little problem about it: key "+" resides at another key on non-english (e.g. scandinavian) standard keyboard. Is it possible to handle shortcuts differently depending on active keyboard?

Re: shortcuts vs non-english keyboard
So you want me to design the program with scandinavian laptops in mind? You must be tripping, man!
No, seriously, Ctrl++ was a obviously bad choice because "+" is one of the keys that shift position within the world of keyboards. Too bad. I think I just take it away, and leave you laptoppers with the dblclick on the splitter.

Oh, no, please!!!
Any shortcut is however much better than no one, isn't it? It is not so difficult for us to remember to press Control+´ instead of Control++.
But if you don't like Control++, so, have you any further plans for Ctrl+Q ("Quick View Panel" in mind)?
P.S.
Indeed I did not mean to make you to design your programm for scandinavian laptops, as Microisoft does. I thought olnly, that shortcut had to be connected to symbol emulated by key pressing in this given system, not with keyboard layout etc. Sorry, I'm not programmer.

Ctrl+Q is Exit (Quit the app) at the moment.Leopoldus wrote:But if you don't like Control++, so, have you any further plans for Ctrl+Q ("Quick View Panel" in mind)?
That's a correct observation (you think like a programmer) -- I'm just researching the issue...Leopoldus wrote:I thought olnly, that shortcut had to be connected to symbol emulated by key pressing in this given system, not with keyboard layout etc. Sorry, I'm not programmer.

This is weird: I remember that Shift+F12 was my first thought (as you say, it's just the perfect choice!), but then something made it impossible, but now I can't remember what!Gandolf wrote:I like the Ctrl+NumPad+ but since F12 displays the info panel how about Shift+F12?? (It does shift the size of the info panel).
I do some more meditation... if nothing comes up Shift+F12 is it!
If there is a problem with Shift+F12 then Ctrl+F12 and use another key for Thumbnails. Ctrl+M (thuMbnails or even Miniature!!). Ctrl+S (Small) but I tend to thing of Ctrl+S as Save for almost all applications but it doesn't really apply to a file manager. F10 also appears to be free if you want a Function key for the thumbnails.
