OS - Windows & Mac OS X, both Programs - most system and many others. Keyboard layouts - I mean mostly non latin (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Keyboard_layouts_for_non-Roman_alphabetic_scripts) In case of russian keyboard layout i have in place of latin char 'x' russian letter 'ч', and want to call <<Cut>> command by pressing this hot key when keyboard really sent to application some like Ctrl+Ч too In Windows we have messages WM_KeyDown and WM_KeyUp that send always key index, stored as constants (defined in windows.h or messages.h) like wk_return, wk_F1, etc. For letter keys, messages come with codes that always equal to index of similar uppercase latin chars. for example, first key code in middle row equal ord ('A') = 65. And in context of russian layout this code translated to Cyrillic letter Ф and sent to window with next message wm_char. Hot key handling based on WM_KeyDown, nor WM_Char P.S.: Samples of localized showing of the hot keys in menu based on interface language or current keyboard layout I can't find right now, but i remember that I have this experience. This is feature not necessary, because reading some like Ctrl+Ч near menu Cut is really frustrating. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1794> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
