@aisbergde what's the keyboard you have installed, QWERTZ? I want to try changing my keyboard layout and see if I can replicate your issue...
yes, the standard german keyboard is qwertz. But I think there could be different qwertz keyboards. "?" is on a specific place.
@aisbergde - I'm able to reproduce your issue. I switched my keyboard from "English (United States) QWERTY" to "German (QWERTZ)".
Looking into todotxt.net's code, I see the app listens for key="OemQuestion" Modifiers="Shift". OemQuestion is the standard question mark key on US keyboards, and the modifier "Shift" means the SHIFT key (either one) must be pressed to trigger the About window.
The easiest solution (for a developer/contributor to implement) would be to change the "?" shortcut to something more global/standard, like "F1". I tested F1 myself, and it worked fine for me...
If there are any experienced Windows developers out there, they can probably figure out a more universal way to represent "?" without using OemQuestion... I researched this for a little while today but there's no obvious answer to me.
@benrhughes - hi Ben! Thoughts on changing the "?" shortcut to "F1"? In Chrome, Word, and other major apps, F1 typically opens the help page for an app.
Confirmed, does not work for swedish layout either. That said: Seems rather very low prio to me, IMO.
I am using a German keyboard layout The important shortcut "?" to get the help windows doesn't work other shortcuts work, but I did not check all of them
