The new "[" open bracket hotkey doesn't seem to work on a Swedish keyboard. Should be the "�" key (I've tested a bunch of other possibilities too including Alt Gr+8 which is left bracket on Swedish keyboard).

Apparently the key "�" works as hotkey for ground report screen on a Swedish keyboard. Don't know why it's that one, but it works.

Swedish keyboard is evil ;-).

Remap to English in games, and game shortcuts makes more sense. Of course, you have to know where the stuff is on an English keyboard...

If you don't have it, add US English keyboard as a secondary. Toggle between them with alt-LShift. This works fine for me in distant worlds. Toggle with the shortcut if you want your Swedish letters in ship names or similar.

That just isn't a valid solution, Bingeling - Especially not in this day of UTF-8 standards. Heck the last time I had to adapt to an incorrect (or complete lack of) keyboard layout was back in 1998 with Baldur's Gate. At most a few games where one has to adapt to a slightly different tilde key location for consoles.

Dirty workaround? Yes
Valid solution? No

@Buio: I'd test the shortcut, but the [ key doesn't appear anywhere in your keyboard shortcut list so I can't really tell which one you're trying to achieve (so that I can test if it is the same for us Danes)
