cannot use keyboard to do " @ " (with my swiss-french keyboard is ALTG

That's right, when I type an address, and I want to put the "@" in it, Which , on my swiss french keyboard is AltGr + 2, all that happens is that the junk mailbox opens. Normally the shortcut.is Ctrl+2, which works as well, but it's VERY annoying no being able to type the @ in an address :-) Is there some ini filethat can be edited with these shortcuts ?
Ok, I can use the ASCII code ( ALT + 064) but that's not a good solution.

Many thanks

Simon

Simon, when you add US English keyboard layout via:
Control Panel/Region and Language/Keyboards and Languages/Change Keyboards/Add > English (US) > OK
Make your current Swiss-French keyboard as default.
Assign keyboard shortcut switch via Advanced Key Settings tab, say Left Alt + Shift. Left Alt + Shift is assigned automatically on Windows 7.
Close all settings dialogs with OK, notice the Language indicator on Windows taskbar.

Now, start Pandora, compose new message, click on To field, and switch the keyboard to English (US). Type @ and test other characters.
Hit F6 or click on body text, switch to Swiss keyboard, and type accented Swiss-French letters.

Any issues? Would that work for you?

Of course that would work for me, but I don't want to go back and forth between 2 keyboards, because I'll forget I switched one time, and I type y instead of z and that's not a solution for me. I want to use my Swiss french keyboard all the time, your solution is a "band-aid on a wooden leg" as we say in French ;-)it is a workaround, but that's not what I want. I want to type @ and have @ coming in the address, not the junk folder opening, that's it....

Of course it's a crutch/band aid, but it's a clean work-around until something better comes along, to quote Weird Al.
There will be (at least) one dedicated update related to international keyboard layouts, accessibility, local hot-keys.

I posted about the same problem a few days ago. Sorry, I didn't realize there already was a thread going.

If I understand what I read in this thread right, there is no solution ATM but there is one coming. Can you give us a hint about when that is likely to happen? If there's just a short delay I can copy-paste for a while, but if it's many months or years away, not so fun.

Correct, you'll be able to assign local keyboard-shortcuts for all commands/menus. It'll be under Settings/Toolbar and Commands.

The important prerequisite for that is coming up next, that is - fully owner drawn menus. [Starting with version 3.7 we'll be able to chose Windows theme file (for Pandora only).] So hot-keys will be there in version 3.9 or 4.x. It's months, not years thought.

Thank you. Is it like 2-3 months or more like 11-12 though?

If it's likely to be less than half a year, I think I'm in. Webmail isn't fun either. The problem is I'm reluctant to start to download from all accounts and move mailboxes and so on if I'm not sure Pandora is a keeper.

I caved and payed for the license. I trust your word the keyboard issue will be fixed. But PLEASE, PLEASE make it sooner rather than later. It's really annoying. But apart from that I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far. You've done a great job with Pandora.

Good, thank you.
We are looking at 4-6 months period, feel free send us a feedback via Help/Send Feedback/Report a Bug menu, anything specific to Swiss-French layout. If there is anything fundamentally different from Swiss-Deutsch layout (which will be used for testing) let us know.

You mean if Swedish layout differs from Swiss-French? It must. I posted an image above of Swedish layout above. CTRL + whatever should be safe if it could be stopped from being triggered by CTRL + ALT and ALT GR.
