Keyboard shorcuts, hardwired or by language keyboard?

Tony

My keyboard is layout is not QWERTY and the letter I (I for India) is on another key on the keyboard. However, to use CTRL-I to Ignore All Unassigned Faces, I press CTRL plus the “i” of the unmapped QWERTY keyboard. That works. However, pressing CTRL-I as my keyboard is mapped doesn’t work. It seems TonFotos isn’t sensing what characters are being returned but rather what keyboard switch is pressed?

In other words, is TonFotos looking for hardawre keystrokes and not what the keyboard is mapped to? It’s not a big deal, I just need to use the letters of a QWERTY keyboard rather than to what my keyboard is mapped to.

To explain in a different way. I adopted a Dvorak layout to resolve a case of tendinitis. The letter “i” on the Dvorak layout is where the “g” is in Qwerty. What was the letter “i” in Qwerty is the letter “c” in Dvorak. Pressing CTRL-c on my Dvorak keyboard lets me "Ignore All Unassigned Faces.

Tony That is right, shortcuts are mapped to harware keys, not to symbols. Otherwise it would just not be usable if your layout is Russian/Hebrew/Greek/Arabic/etc. where there is just no such letter as “i”, or any other latin letter for that matter. However you can still use the same key as in English layout and it would work.

I guess your Dvorak is also just a Windows keyboard layout on top of regular Querty harware keyboard, that is why it works that way. Do you have Dvoak engravings on your keys or it is just a regular Querty keyboard with Querty keys engraving? I guess whole point using Dvorak is typing blind, so it should not matter that much what is actually engraved on the keys.

Thanks Andrey. I have the Dvorak version of the Kinesis keyboard, it has the Dvorak layout engraved on the keys. Also the Qwerty letters are engraved on the keys too.

Tony OK, thank you for information.
