I read about problems with non-English keyboards all the time. I don't know if it's gotten worse over the years, or has always been this bad, but it's one of the key reasons I believe it's well past time that kbsc weren't hard-wired. That's SO back in the day of typewriters, not computers.
Give us a default set, fine. But nothing hard-wired. Let us change any of it to suit ourselves, our own workflows, our own languages. And give us an interface like you see in PP to see what is in use, what is available, depending upon whatever workspace (if there are multiple workspaces) we're in. I think we're past the point of "fixing" it by tinkering with bits and pieces of it—because every new kbsc they come up with for some new feature is going to break in some localized version, or break someone's workflow.
is there any news about this issue? Is it possible to define the shortcuts yourself?
Edit: Found a solution: In the file "translatedstrings*" I can edit the shortcuts. Is there a possibility that they will be kept during an update? Otherwise they are always gone 😞
Are the shortcuts in the file "transletedstrings" hardcoded?
Now one more question: Will my adjustments in the file (“transletedstrings”) remain even after an update? Or do I have to insert them again? Have you already gained experience with this?
"Will my adjustments in the file (“transletedstrings”) remain even after an update?"
No, the TranslatedStrings file gets overwritten by each update, so you'll have to save away your edits in a separate file in your home directory. The Keyboard Tamer plugin remembers your shortcut edits, so you can just rerun the plugin after each new release.
There's a ton of different Articles relating to Keyboard Shortcuts, is that so difficult to get Fixed ? On my Germany Keyboard lots of the Shortcuts are totaly Different to what the helpfile says, and some i cannot figure out at all. Shortcuts for speedy developing in the main developing-tools-window #/- ( indrease/decrease) are only accesible via + (scrooling through the tools) in one Direction ( downwards)? is there no Shortcut to go the other direction (upwards) as well ? so if i want to togle betwen contrast and brightness, i allways have to go through ALL the tools till i get there again??
Here are the lines in TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt that specify the shortcuts for selecting the next and previous sliders in the Basic panel and incrementing and decrementing the slider values:
