It never occurred to me that other languages would have different hot-keys. Intuitively it makes sense, but damn I imagine a lot of programs don't do it so it must be a horribly inconsistent experience (I get angry when a program fails to support something like CTRL-W to close windows or CTRL-A for select all or the inconsistency between some using ctrl-shift-Z or ctrl-Y for redo).
I guess that's the advantage to the old Word Perfect approach of function-keys for everything (provided you have one of those nifty overlays that show you all the key-commands).
