Research how shortcuts relate to keyboard layouts and localizations

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      We need to have a consistent story and behavior in Qt for how keyboard shortcuts are affected by localization and active keyboard layouts.

      Some things to look into:

      • How are shortcuts natively represented?
      • How does shortcut matching happen natively?
      • If an application registers a shortcut with a US layout active, what happens when the same keys are pressed with a RU layout active?
      • If an application registers a shortcut with a RU layout active, what happens when the same keys are pressed with a US layout active?
      • Are the user preferences to affect this behavior?
      • Are there APIs to affect or determine the behavior?
