Shortcut problem with Affinity Publisher 2.0.3 (French) with French macOS 13.1 and French Azerty keyboards

[laurent32]

The Affinity standard shortcuts are in conflict with macOS standard shortcuts :

So I try to change the Affinity shortcut :

Strangely, the menu keep giving me :

And cmd-: doesn't work…

If I hit "Réinitialiser", I get cmd+\ ?

To summarize : i start with cmd+` — then I ask for cmd+: — then I find that the menu says cmd+° — then I reset and I get cmd+\

There is definitely something wrong here…

I'm sure it's not obvious to work on shortcuts "worldwide" with different systems and different keyboards…

Even more when you already have to hit ctrl and/or alt and/or cmd and/or shift to just access special characters…

Example : impossible to hit cmd-\ on a French keyboard (\ key not present) ; we would have to hit cmd (cmd shift /) and "cmd-cmd" doesn't exist !

Right now, it is important for me to access to "Retrait ici", I use it a lot !!

Good luck with the shortcuts guys !

Are you trying to change them manually? Or are you clicking on the button? I can't tell from your description.

I duplicated the problem with the Indent to Here shortcut

1. I set my keyboard to French
2. I set Affinity to French
3. The English shortcut was replaced by Cmd+` in Preferences>Shortcuts and in the Text>Insert menu. This shortcut shows a conflict.
4. I changed the shortcut to Cmd+: like Laurent did and in the menu it was shown as Cmd+º
5. Pressing Cmd+: or Cmd+º (which required a Shift) didn't work.

So two problems:

1. The default shortcut for Indent to Here needs to be reviewed
2. The Cmd+: shortcut is displayed incorrectly in the menu

Thanks

Please read Mike's post, he summarize better than I do…
