ctrl-alt shortcuts and international keybords problem (showstopper)

I stumbled upon this bug: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=7896&group_id=5358

It seems ctrl-alt-g is used in croatian keyboards to type a certain character. International keyboards have altGr as ctrl+alt, so this becomes a problem for certain keys.

What shortcuts do we have under ctrl-alt? These are a showstopper for international users. We should assign it to other key or make it customizable.

bump!

Does anyone care about this bug? This is indeed a showstopper. Especially since sometimes the keyboard shortcuts get randomly reverted to default. I can't report a bug about it because this happens once every few weeks in a classroom full of students and I can't get them to explain exactly what they were doing.

Another bit of information: AltGr is not normally aliased to Ctrl+Alt (e.g. I can't get task manager in WinXP by pressing AltGr+Del) it is only the case in C::B !

I have gone through all the shortcuts and this is the only one using Ctrl+Alt combination. Please change it!


Edit: Ctrl+Shift+G is available!! I'd guess that this was probably just a simple omission, all other shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+something not Ctrl+Alt+something.
