yes, this is also a problem for the French keyboard; this is why I 
modified it in the French translation.
But there where negative comments from Mac users (I think).

I think to remember that Stefan Löffler did speak one day about an 
"action.txt" file.
If I remember well, it was possible to define the shortcuts for the 
actions in that file and have it loaded at startup.
I did find the file in my machine, but not the instructions!!!

This could also help during typesetting and report about errors

Oh yes, Jonathan and the other programmers have created a great software.

And the ease to create your own abbreviations for the completion with 
[Tab]!!
