Summary0011259: Unable to input Polish letters with standard keyboard layout in text frame - collision shortcuts
DescriptionPlease redesign keyboard listeners for text frame editor and story editor to allow use different languages than English.

Consider that i.e. Polish Alphabet -> http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfabet_polski

This letters is entered with right alt + normal letter + shift if upper case: ??????ó????????Ó?? - ? = alt + a, except ? = alt+x

It collides with alt+ctrl+s? - left alt with Polish Programmer layout could send such keys (it is standard keyboard layout which we use).

Quick solution remove shortcut "save as template.
Steps To Reproduce1. Open scribus.
2. Set or not language to Polish.
3. Set Keyboard to Polish Programmers (it is default).
4. Try write all letter keep right alt + acelnosxz.
TagsNo tags attached.

Shortcuts are inherently keyboard layout dependent. This is a problem already expressed in issues such as 0007993, 0008994, 0008930 etc... Shortcuts can be modified by user if necessary by using File > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts menu.

Not understand why it is duplicate http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=8994 and why text editor should not accept character other than English as we know it is not only language on the world - could explain you way of thinking?

The root issue is the fact some shortcuts are keyboard layout dependent in both case.

>> and why text editor should not accept character other than English

Never said that. I gave you a workaround and that workaround allows to modify the problematic shortcut.

I think you rather repeat what I suggest in request - whatever shortcut should not cover language alphabet in text editor it is fundamental requirement :)

Sorry, that's a solution for you but not for most people using Scribus as that would remove a functionality that works in their environment. I gave you a workaround which works, please use it.

You not give workaround I give it to you I tell you before and now - I am not looking for workaround since already know :)

The is BAD DESIGN or BEHAVIOR to not allow enter native character other than ENGLISH.

See what I am write before:

Scribus works in French and in french removing the "save as template shortcut" is not an option. The problem is the dependency of the shortcuts on keyboard layout. This is already a known problem which is expressed in issue 0007993, 0008994, 0008930. If you look at the bug tracker, we also know we have to fix some issue related to non latin languages, especially input methods supports. You'll also see that we do not claim support for non-latin languages and especially complex ones (hindi, arabic, etc...).

This is neither a support nor a discussion forum but a bug tracker. As a consequence, already known issues are closed. And the dependency of shortcuts on keyboard layout and the problem it may cause is already a known issue.
