It uses a syntax like "abcd|x#a#", before the first '#' there is the special key to use on keyboard, and before the second '#' the letter to be underlined (or the opposite, I don't remember). Such a thing is useful also for latin alphabet languages, in some cases where the logical letter to underline is accented; for exemple in French the entry for "_Edit" should be "_Éditer" (_<Eacute>diter), however, it would be nice to be able to use Alt-E for it. Something like "_Éditer|e#" would be very nice. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.stben.be/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
