Shortcuts on german keyboard

RolfG

The "Toggle comment" is not working on german keyboards since one has to press Shift + 2 to get it.
Maybe Ctrl + # is a better option?
I'm used to press Shift + Insert to paste from clipboard (with Linux). Somehow I'm faster with that, and there ist that damned muscle memory...
Is it possible to add this to the normal Ctrl + v ?

I'm using shortcuts heavily and avoid using the mouse if possible.

RolfG Sounds like what's really needed is a new Keyboard page in Settings to modify the default keyboard shortcuts to one's taste. Ultimately with the ability to save and load shortcut schemes. Say, an optional German scheme might be useful to distribute with the product, or to be community distributed, if keyboard schemas could be exported / imported via a file.

Thanks, Rolf and bgrommes. I’ve made two focused compatibility changes based on this discussion.

Toggle Comment retains Ctrl+' on Windows/Linux and Cmd+' on macOS, but now also recognises Ctrl+# or Cmd+# according to the character produced by the active keyboard layout. The natural # key therefore works on a German keyboard, while layouts that require Shift to produce # are also handled.

On Windows and Linux, Shift+Insert now invokes the same context-aware Paste action as Ctrl+V.

These changes are implemented, tested on macOS and Windows, documented, and ready for the next Studio release: https://feedback.objo.dev/bug/1279

I’ve also filed the proposed configurable Keyboard settings page separately: https://feedback.objo.dev/feature/1280

That feature is currently in triage. Before adding the settings UI, Studio’s commands and shortcuts need to be centralised so menus, native menus, editors, displayed shortcuts, and user preferences all share one source of truth. The proposed scope includes multiple bindings, conflict detection, command searching, and restoring defaults, with scheme import/export considered afterwards.

I asked for the same thing. It would be very handy to have a shortcut that removes the current line in the editor.
