I understand the problem but I need to find another solution rather than suddenly drop all these keyboard shortcuts for everyone.
Ideally replace
In upcoming v1.0.3 there won't be anymore any default keyboard shortcuts with Ctrl+Alt
Hello Giuseppe ... We're still unable to insert special keys by using "Alt Gr"-key on german keyboard like "µ ~ ² ³ { [ ] } \" etc. ...
The problem is a default-configuration in "config.cfg" where cherrytree uses "CTRL-ALT"-sequences in order to map some functions AND it is not new:
... although you released a ticket on the the GNOME developer-hub: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5231 , i think it is better to remove ALL problematic sequences from config by default:
Reason:
The problem was also discussed in depth here: https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/13372 ... Windows interprets Ctrl+Alt as AltGr, to accommodate some compact keyboards like those of netbooks which have neither the AltGr key or a right-hand Alt key (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key#Ctrl+Alt), so using CTRL+ALT ist not really a good idea and we see this by the lots of filed issues. It is also a big challenge for a normal user to delete all 26 relevant entries manually by using the gui-method of cherrytree.
It is possible to sync a partial "config.cfg" (with the entries above) into the users "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\cherrytree" - directory. Cherrytree will then merge its config with this one, when running after copy, but i think it is a better and much simpler solution to remove all sequences above from default config because also Microsoft does NOT RECOMMEND to use "Ctrl+Alt" as a shortcut modifier:
