Hi all, off-late i was testing the translated keyboard shortcuts that we have included in our translations and stumbled upon the following results:
1. In the FC2 bn locale...if the bn keyboard is selected either directly with setxkbmap or through gnome-keyboard-properties dialogbox, then some of the shortcuts are not working..especially the ctrl+<key> combos. one of the weirdest eg. wud be that when the bn kbd(with inscript layout) is selected then commonly used shortcuts like ctrl+c and ctrl+p etc. are not functioning but ctrl+z is, possibly bcoz the 'Z' key is not alloted to any bn character in the inscript layout. 2.at times the shrtcuts require 2 keys to obtain the alphabet in addition to the shift/ctrl/alt (or combos thereof) keys. for eg. when a "pha" or "Tha" is to be used. 3. Another point that is known to all of us is the case of duplication in the shortcuts and these not only look horrible, but end up completely useless. 4. For FC3, the IIIMF input method is going to be used. i tried testing with an eval version of gedit with IIIMF enabled and found that the translated hot-keys DO NOT work for either en or bn keyboard. hence if IIIMF is the standard for FC3, then these translated shortcuts are as good as redundant. As an experiment..i changed the top-level menu items File (_F), Edit (_E), View (_V) etc. as used by quite a few teams (eg.Chinese team), for the gedit file, made the .mo and ran the application. The english shortcuts are working for both the en and bn keyboard layouts. which roughly means that these shortcuts will run irrespective of what the input language layout is. perhaps this issue needs to be seriously thot over..for the sake of avoiding any further complications. thanks Runa ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
