I think it would be great if TGC could consider that not all users are using English-keyboards. The current keymapping creats some problems for us with non english keyboards.

An example is the keys for in/decreasing the Markers, [ and ].

Why not simple use common -/+ for in/decreasing?

Those keys are already used for changing range sizes I might be able to double them up of course. Are there any more keys that are unfriendly on non-UK/US keyboards?

Doubling them up seems logical. If you did prefer not to do that, you could differentiate between the + / - on the main keyboard (those next to the regular digits above alpha keys) and the + / - on the numeric keypad.



For those with keyboards having no numeric keypad, these are usually made up from a key combo of a Fn (function key) and another key.



The ultimate solution in my mind however, is using an INI file (or other methodology) to allow us to set / change the hotkeys for the editor itself.
