Hi, I'm missing the sw spec - at which sw are these shortcuts aimed?
hint: shortcuts for windows you should know.
because it does only partialy work on linux and definitely not on mac (different keys and combinations]
Thanks for your comment I'll work on that but for Linux they should work only one key combination that doesn't work, I'm using Linux mint. And again thank you very much for pointing out that.
