Hi,<br><br>I'll try to comment on several of the issues mentioned here.<br><br>1) Keyboard shortcuts<br>The problem that certain combinations are not always available/possible is known. I'd like to stress, however, that this is not language specific, it rather depends on the keyboard layout you choose. And AFAIK, there's no easy way to determine that automatically in Qt. As Joseph pointed out, this has been discussed on the list several times. I'd like to emphasize that this depends very much on both your operating system and your keyboard layout. What works for the German/Windows combination, may fail horribly for Linux/Norwegian or Mac/Korean (and vice-versa, of course). Please keep this in mind.<br>
That said, there are plans and also some coding to implement custom key maps (see <a href="http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=17" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=17</a>). Right now, this is rather rudimentary, but it works.<br>
BTW: I am using the Linux/German combination, and IIRC indent worked for me.<br><br>2) The font settings<br>This, too, is already on the issues list (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=89" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=89</a>). Matthias' point is a very valid one, adding a "set as default" option to the normal format dialog is difficult, however (I omit the coding related details for now). And as Jonathan remarked on GC, changing the font in all windows (without possibility to revert to the original in individual windows) is not really acceptable.<br>
<br>3) LaTeX is missing from the default tools<br>I believe the reason for this is simply that latex would produce output (dvi) that Tw (i.e., the internal previewer) can't handle. If we included such a tool, and people would simply typeset their document with it, they would rightfully complain that all the great features (preview, synctex, etc.) are broken because they don't see anything. If you require latex for some reason - and know what you're doing - it's very easy to add latex as a tool (through the preferences dialog). However, this usually shouldn't be required, as most documents compile fine with both latex and pdflatex. Only if you use some specialties (like pstricks, I believe), only one of them works. So I vote for keeping it the way it is now, as I believe that it suites most novice users and works in most cases.<br>
BTW: For a Windows batch script you may be able to use/adjust, see Minh Duc Thai's message <a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2009q4/001903.html" target="_blank">http://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2009q4/001903.html</a><br>

HTH<br>-Stefan<br><br>PS: Before telling everyone here what "must be changed" or "is absolutely nonsense", please take the time to try to look at your problem from a more objective point of view. There are other people out there who may have different operating systems, languages, believes, and needs which should be taken into account as well. It would also be a good idea to take a quick look at GC and the posts on this list here, since quite a few issues have already been discussed there.<br>
