Pe matches keyboard shortcuts with physical keys but not mapped keys

[drcouzelis]

Pe (and the similar Paladin Editor) uses the wrong keys for keyboard shortcuts when using the Dvorak keyboard layout. It is easiest to describe with an example:

Normal (WebPositive, Terminal, StyledEdit...): Find is Alt+F Pe: Find is Alt+U (F is U in Dvorak)

Normal: Open is Alt+O Pe: Open is Alt+R (O is R in Dvorak)

Normal: Undo is Alt+Z Pe: Undo is Alt+; (Z is ; in Dvorak)

To further clarify, I am using a QWERTY keyboard with the Dvorak keyboard map.

Thank you.

First, Pe is not a Haiku component. Second, I think that Pe behavior is more correct than Haiku behavior becouse shortcuts should be international and easily usable. Most shortcuts like Alt+Z, Alt+X etc. are used for their location on keyboard, not character name.

For Pe related bugs, please file bug reports on Pe's website: ​http://pe-editor.berlios.de/

X512: shortcuts usually use the character name when it's available without modifiers, and fallback to the America Qwerty. Hence Pe behavior isn't what one would expect.
