P: errors in keyboard shortcuts shown in Help

[John R Ellis]

The Help windows displaying keyboard shortcuts have many errors (about 500).  These errors include:

- Showing the wrong key, e.g. Command + ] instead of Mayús + : for Rotate Right in Spanish.

- Showing Delete on Windows instead of Backspace, or Backspace on Mac instead of Delete.  

- Showing the internal name for a key instead of the user-interface name, e.g. Esc instead of Escape.

- Showing the English name for a key instead of the translation, e.g. Shift instead of Maj in French.

- Inconsistent capitalization, e.g. Touche Gauche and touche Gauche.

- Variant names of the same key, e.g. Touche flèche gauche and touche Gauche.

- Using \ in TranslatedStrings instead of ^L.

- Inconsistent spacing around "+", e.g. "Shift+F" or "Shift+<space>F" instead of "Shift<space>+<space>F".

I've attached the file "errors.txt" containing the complete list of mistakes. My soon-to-be-released Any Shortcut plugin detects these errors and can optionally update the TranslatedStrings files to have the correct entries. 

Tested in LR 11.5 12.0.

[Update: I've attached an errors.txt generated for LR 12.0, reflecting changes made since 11.5.]

The Help > * Module Shortcuts have a fair number of mistakes, with the shortcuts shown in Help not matching the actual assigned shortcuts.  The table below was generated by a script examining the TranslatedStrings files.  It is also attached as a .csv file, with a column containing the corresponding lines from the TranslatedStrings files.

[Update: I've attached a new "inconsistent.csv" containing 18 additional mismatches.]

The Any Shortcut plugin has been released. It detects many different kinds of errors and inconsistencies in the TranslatedStrings files, and it can update them to have correct help entries:
