No, what I am saying is that, at least the default style's visual hint for keyboard shortcut uses the symbol on the key to mean the key and uses modifiers to mean that the key needs to be pressed while the depict combination of modifier keys are held. I am not aware of any keyboard that uses lowercase letters on its keycaps, but if course if you have such a keyboard that the visualization hint would not match what you are seeing, leading you to the assumption that you must hold the shift modifier to achieve the depict keystroke. Maybe you could file a feature request against Qt to allow toggle for people such as yours with a keyboard with lower case characters on their keycaps. > The main reason I think this matters a bit is that it is relatively easy to > hit A and think you are replying to all recipients if you don't check. > That almost happend to me. Interesting. Whenever I hit the A key it does indeed invoke the reply-to-all functionality. But then of course all my keyboards have upper case characters depict in the keycaps so there was a direct visual similarity between the shortcut hint and the actual key. Cheers, Kevin
