What just happened?

I'm using a German Mac keyboard where Y and Z switched places (standard German layout). The Second Life Viewer doesn't switch the keys according to the keyboard which leads to the strange behaviour that CMD-Y is "undo" and CMD-Z is "redo".

What were you doing when it happened?

Moving Prims and wanting to undo.

What were you expecting to happen instead?

International correct behaviour for "undo" and "redo".

Hello Qitam,

Are you referring to the AZERTY or QWERTZ keyboard layout? If so this is a Feature Request.
Please let us know.

Thanks!

I‘m using a (German typical) QWERTZ keyboard, which exchanges Y and Z (and a lot of other keys). In my opinion is the behavior not a feature, it’s a programing bug. Your code is checking for the keys hardware and not for system’s keymap. Name it as you like, but please fix it.;) 

Best regards
