Hello
Im experimenting a lotùs of odd shortcut behavior problem and my guess is it's due to my azerty keyboard.
I use the Houdini Hotkeys manager is always showing a qwerty keyboard and i canùt find international keyboard option to change that..
I mean, we are mi 2020, H18, this is basic but essential.
I hope i missed something there but frustration for now didn't miss me
Looking forward an answer, cheers

I'll double the post with the following example :
"/" key is assigned to volatile C-Place operation.
on an Azerty french keyboard :
"/" on numerical KB is for decreasing handle size.
on a mbp KB the key sequence is shift+":" to obtain "/".
Alas it doesn't work.
For the record, I'm using a G502 mouse, on a mbp2018, houdini 18.5.499.
Here are the options i tried :
1.Reconfiguring the mouse button 4 to "/" :
- Unfortunately it records the key as "="
(it seems it's because "=" is where "/" is positioned on a french KB).
2.Reconfiguring the mouse button 4 to "/" with better touch tools
- Same thing, as you move to houdini, it is identified as "="
3.Open "Hotkey manager" and try to edit the keyboard shortcut with the french KB position of "/"
- I have a question mark "?" instead and it doesn't work.
I eventually managed to find an available kb shortcut.
It would be nice to have :
1.corresponding keyboard hotkeys no matter the language.
So in the present case i would have to type "="
or
2.Language matching keyboard assignment.
Meaning Shift+":" to type "/"
One last note :
the keys are fully functional when you try to type "/" in, let's say translate, to create a mathematical formula.
It's a problem with the hotkeys only.
