checkboxes don't work on German keyboard layout

with German keyboard layout
OS: Linux Mint 17.3

v.1.3

I've been able to replicate this. That's pretty unfortunate, it seems the / is under a shift key on a German keyboard, and on the place where on my keyboard a ~ is. Would it be ok to also add ctrl + ~ as a shortcut?

[thob]

~ is only accessible via Alt Gr + '+' in German

[Kilian]

any other suggestions?

[thob]

could you use Alt Gr + [

[fonorobert]

Chiming in to add that on Hungarian keyboard the characters [ ] / are all under either Shift or Alt as is ~ so folding and checkboxes don't work via the keyboard.

On a Hungarian keyboard only the following special characters are available without a modifier key: , . -

My recommendation would be to keep all shortcuts to letters, that would work across all languages.

ps. great little app btw, kudos!

@fonorobert Thanks! With regards to the shortcut, a letter would work for at least all latin script indeed, but it would need to be one that doesn't interfere with other common shortcuts (it can't be ctrl+C-for-checkbox, for example)

Any objections to alt+b or ctrl+b ?

[fonorobert]

Ctrl+B might be confusing as it's the shortcut for bold text in most word processors. Alt+B would work although it might be better to keep it on Ctrl to be consistent with the other shortcuts already in the app. Maybe Ctrl+H would be an option? Then fold/unfold could be Ctrl+J and Ctrl+K, this way most shortcuts would be on the home row for touch typists :)

I want to keep the ctrl+[ and ctrl + / shortcuts too, so I need to pick some that are not likely to become better suited for later functionality (when it comes up)

• Ctrl+L for checkbox
• Ctrl+K for fold/unfold?

[fonorobert]

That sounds reasonable :)

still no checkboxes for German?

[Kilian]

Thanks for the reminder, completely overlooked this. I have added the aforementioned Ctrl+L and Ctrl+K shortcuts, they will be in 1.4.1
