Yes, I agree. However, the French don't need to switch the keybord layout in order to type Ctrl+A (nor do they have to care about AZERTY or QWERTY keyboards): the shortcuts are already latin characters. However, an Arabic user will have to type shortcuts in Arabic, so why not set new/'logical' conventions from the start ? Salam, -- Youcef Rahal
