In the English version of AD, in the dialog box that pops up when trying to close a document with changes, I could press Cmd+d to close without saving (a feature I love in e.g. BBEdit). Now that the new version opens in German, the shortcuts are no longer working. I'd be happy if the English shortcuts could still be used (though the German button texts start with different letters). To make this perfect, it would possible to show the shortcuts for each button on the button itself when holding down the Cmd key (as BBEdit does it).

A workaround is to activate the tab key for all controls in System Preferences/Keyboard and use the space bar for the selected button - but many users don't know of this feature and don't have it activated. And it needs more keystrokes.

So my improvement request would be to leave the shortcuts in, no matter which language the app is running.

 

B.t.w.: thank you for using the "native" comma/point rules for numbers (i.e. comma for decimals in German). Highly appreciated! Too few developers care about Apple's (excellent) user guidelines nowadays. How I loath to have to type in e.g. dates in the month-day-year way (which doesn't make sense at all to me and many others). I nearly put the AD demo into the trash when the first thing I saw after hitting Cmd+N was "inches" ;-) - luckily it remembered my selection of mm as my unit of choice ever after.
