Description
If the UI language is different from the current keyboard layout,
mnemonics did not work because the matching algorithm was based on
comparing translated character codes instead of using unique keycodes.
This has changed now.
The feature is fully implemented for Windows but only partially
implemented for Unix. On the UNIX platform only pure ASCII mnemonics
can be matched with arbitrary keyboard layouts (e.g., English UI with
Thai keyboard). On Windows there is no known limitation, except that
the keyboard layout for the current UI language must be among the
currently installed keyboard layouts.
