Appending letters such as "(N)" is probably a good idea, but it is up to the teams to decide about it. CJK languages, e.g., append (X).

...

From testing on an installed system it appears, that all alt-X shortcuts always use US layout / ASCII characters and never trigger non-ASCII shortcuts.

The possible ways to resolve this, would be: a) fix yast to trigger non-ASCII shortcuts b) not assign (i.e. underline) any non-ASCII shortcuts, but auto-assign + print ASCII shortcuts c) change translations to include ASCII-shortcuts as has been the case with 11.1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Adding support for non-latin characters would affect a lot of code. Non-latin characters are not supported on purpose. You never know which particular characters are available on the current keyboard. That's the reason why only A-Z, a-z and 0-9 are allowed. The best way to offer shortcuts for languages with non-latin characters is to append e.g. "(N)" as proposed by Karl in comment #1. Karl, could you please communicate this to our translators?
