localized keyboard shortcuts

Is there any documentation available on the new localized keyboard shortcuts feature? I'm interested to know if an application can discover the current set of shortcuts.

  • Hi!

    Thanks for asking, what would you like to build? How would you like your app to discover those shortcuts?

It might be useful to know what the real shortcut is when providing help to the user. It might also be useful to know what the real shortcut is in case it conflicts with some other use of the same key combination, in which case a different key combination can be used. An application that creates its own shortcut preferences would need to know this.

  • Would you be able to file a feedback request and post the number here so that we can move your feedback along? Thanks in advance!

    Note that shortcuts need to be defined in your app like they are from a QWERTY US English keyboard. Then, the system will translate from that layout. And knowing that we consistently remap 1 key in US English → 1 key in another layout, there won’t be any conflict in any other layout.

    Then, if shortcuts don’t conflict in QWERTY US English, they will be fine with other layouts.
