I think that shortcuts should be bound to meta-keys (or hardware key scan code), so then regardless of keyboard layout, pressing alt-c should be understood as a 'copy' action.
That's actually what the key even logic (at least on Windows) does. But, looking beyond Squeak, how are things like common shortcuts (cut, copy, paste, print, quit etc) handled for all the different keyboard layouts? I remember early Smalltalk code using the scan code only, so ctrl-" translated to ctrl-u-Umlaut on German keyboards, not a really intuitive thing for a user ;-) michael
