Shortcut collision on international keyboards

Open bbrdaric opened this issue 12 years ago • 0 comments

Hello,

after installing this plugin, I couldn't get @ sign anymore.

After reinstalling Sublime Text and googling around, I realized that this plugin shortcuts collide with getting @ sign on my keyboard with Croatian layout.

Some international keyboards like South Slavic Latin, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia use AltGr key to get some characters.

  • AltGr+v @
  • AltGr+b {
  • AltGr+n }
  • AltGr+m §
  • AltGr+, <
  • AltGr+. >

As AltGr translates to Ctrl+Alt Tortoise shortcut collided with my @ sign. After some time and realizing what could be the problem, I was able to comment out and remap Tortoise shortcuts.

Therefore, it is recommended that this combination not be used as a modifier in Windows keyboard shortcuts as, depending on the keyboard layout and configuration, someone trying to type a special character with it may accidentally trigger the shortcut, or the keypresses for the shortcut may be inadvertently interpreted as the user trying to input a special character.` - Wikipedia

On behalf all users with international keyboards, please change this Ctrl+Alt modifier to something else so this won't happen to someone else.

Regards, Boris.
