[Inkscape-devel] enhancing shortcuts schemes

Hi,

It's probably not very well known that keyboard shortcuts in localized (e.g. Russian) UI do not work in Windows. This is one of the oldest GTK+ bugs that nobody bothers to fix.

A user has just come up with an clever hackaround that looks like this:

bind key="g" action="ToolGradient" / bind key="G" action="ToolGradient" / bind key="Cyrillic_pe" action="ToolGradient" / bind key="Cyrillic_PE" action="ToolGradient" /

That is, he specifically maps Russian "P" character which is on the same key that English "G" is. He also patched relevant parts for Illustrator, Corel DRAW etc. schemes.

This is probably not Dvorak-pron, though. Should we ship patched versions of the shortcut schemes?
