السلام عليكم
For example, french had not done any innovation, they kept the same english
configuration, Ctrl+A is "select all" in azerty, they didn't choose Ctrl+T
for "Sélectionner tout" . It's a matter of usability and minimal efforts to
solve the problem.
As you can see, most shorcuts in english are in the left side, a Ctrl+Kaf that
stands for Select all , will make an frequent action very hard.
In addition, we should do the same as in arabic Mac OS and Windows. I don't
use it, so I don't know what they did.
I think that "having some 'weird' shortcuts like ctrl+ؤ " will make the arabic
desktop more usable and will avoid us academic researches.
