I have a German keyboard and am in despair: the commands I am interested in (one of the reasons for buying a ‘licence’) are unavailable on my keyboard. The characters from the shortcut overview are on different keys on my keyboard than on the US keyboard.  But neither the character nor the key (with a different result in DE ) trigger the command (e.g. expand/collapse a heading). 

Is there a workaround for this, e.g. a ‘translation table’ that I could edit so that the commands can be adapted to a German (and thus functionally for any other) keyboard?

I classify it as a bug that there is no customization option for the keyboard.

Hello!

Sorry about the delay responding, as (for the first time ever) a support message was in the forum spam queue!

Looking at a common german keyboard layout, it looks like the bindings specifically for folding and unfolding the current heading would not work, since those require altgr.

Can you confirm if those are the only ones you’re having trouble with?

Currently, there are no alternate binding options but I’ll see about adding some.

While I don’t have a keyboard shortcut workaround to offer you right now, you can also toggle headings by:

• double clicking the ### part of the heading
• typing ... after the heading to collapse it
• clicking the ... after the heading to expand it
• deleting the ... after the heading to expand it
• Ctrl-K Ctrl-0 (or Ctrl-K Ctrl-J) to expand all headings
• Ctrl-K Ctrl-# to collapse all headings of a specific level

I don’t have a physical german keyboard to test with, so I want to make sure Deepdwn will see the correct key shortcuts for this case

Can you visit https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html and enter Ctrl+Shift+ß and share a screenshot of the results?

With a virtual keyboard, mine looks like this, which may not be accurate:

Based on that screenshot and my local testing, it seems like Ctrl Shift ß would fold the current section. Can you confirm that’s the case for you?

Yes, it does!
