Hello,

That might not include a lot of people but here’s what i thought about for quite some time :

I’m from France and i’m typing on an AZERTY keyboard, the main difference lies in the fact that i need to press maj to type numbers. To make it easier i’m doing my reviews with caps locks, wich makes the sortcuts like ctrl+z unusable.  
It takes a little time to press caps locks \> short cut \> back to caps locks \> back to review.  
Just a tiny detail but since i’m spending quite some time here that could smoothen up a bit my revision process.

Would that be possible to make customizable shortcuts for some actions ?

Best !

Maybe you can use AutoHotKey program. You write short script that can remap pressed shortcut into another keys combination [https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/howto/WriteHotkeys.htm](https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/howto/WriteHotkeys.htm)

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m not super familiar with alternate keyboard layouts. Is my understanding correct that you use caps locks so that when you press e.g., `&` you get `1` without needing to press `shift` (`maj`)?

I believe this causes the keybindings to not work because our code specifically checks for an e.g., `z` event but we receive a `Z` event because caps lock is on. I think if we just update that code a bit to handle capitalized letters being pressed for a keybinding, everything should work.

I’ll file a ticket for this on our end. Should be easy to do. 👍

We deployed a fix for this, keybindings should now work even when `Caps Lock` is on.

IN OTHER WORDS, HANZIHERO IS NOW A TRULY CAPSLOCK FRIENDLY PLATFORM. 😆

Thanks again for the report! 🫡
