- Pretty new idea! :-))

- --------------
- Another suggestion:
-
- For shortcuts with single purpose keys (A-Z,DEL,HELP,DEL,...) we always use
- uppercase; 'Shift-(Cntrl)- A' is 'UParrow-(^)-A' and 'Cntrl-A' is '^A' as
- on the keys the letters are always uppercase.
- So if you want to press 'A' you are pressing the key 'A' (and not 'a') and
- for 'Shift-A' the shift-key + the key 'A' as 'UParrow-A' shows.
-
- For all other shortcuts with non-single purpose keys (%&>...) we use no UP-
- arrow. The user just has to press the combination (with or without shift)
- that the national keyboard need.
-
- Characters that need more than the shift key have to be excluded or the
- Cntrl-Alt-Shift combination that is needed shouldn't be allowed.
-
- How about that?
