I often switch between English and Ukrainian languages while writing notes, so it's a bit of a problem for me :)

Colleagues. I think testing should be more extensive. Today I completed some of the tasks using the Saga application. There, the AI assistant is active for the duration of the trial. And the signs are managed faster. Then the result of the work was transferred to Capacities. And the tasks work there, or rather a filter for collecting tasks by date. But they seem to work for you, but only with integration with task managers and a paid subscription. I don't want to buy a pig in a poke.

Shortcuts Do Not Work with Non-English Keyboard Layouts in Capacities for Windows

When using Capacities for Windows, application shortcuts stop functioning if the active keyboard layout is set to a non-English language. This issue affects all shortcuts, including:
- Basic shortcuts such as Ctrl+C (Copy), Ctrl+V (Paste), and Ctrl+Z (Undo).
- Shortcuts listed in the official user guide, which also fail to work under non-English layouts.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Capacities for Windows.
- Switch the keyboard layout to a non-English language (e.g., Russian, German, etc.).
- Attempt to use any shortcut, including those documented in the user guide (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+E or Ctrl+N).
Expected behavior:
Shortcuts should function as described in the user guide, regardless of the active keyboard layout.
Actual behavior:
Shortcuts do not respond when the keyboard layout is non-English.
This issue severely impacts usability, as it forces users to switch back to the English layout every time they need to use a shortcut. Please address this issue to ensure shortcuts work consistently across all keyboard layouts.
Feel free to reach out if additional information or logs are needed to assist with debugging.

Hotkeys don't work when you switch keyboard language to non-english. Fix it please!
Luca Joos
It works for the German keyboard layout. Which keyboard layout language do you use?

Luca Joos, I use Cyrillic keyboard layout and even CTRL+C doesn't work :(

Capacities hotkeys not working when using non-English keyboard layout. Looks like it registered a character instead of a physical key. So pressing Ctrl+K (Ctrl+Л in Ukrainian) triggers Chrome Search, instead of Capacities Search. Ctrl+A (Ctrl+Ф) works for the line you edit (because it is Electron native hotkey), but does not work properly for selecting all blocks, for instance. So it is impossible to work and modify text, because any command for Bold, Italic, Undo/Redo, or Select All not working properly. Only Capacities has this issue from all the apps I use, making it a very inconvenient experience and hard to stick to on a daily basic. Please take a look at this issue. Thank you for your time!

Yes, please, to respect users with Cyrillic keyboard, which you definitely have and will have more of them :)
I think all you need is to use
KeyboardEvent:code
instead of KeyboardEvent:key
. They code
one would be more relevant considering users with non-Latin keyboards. Thanks in advance, looking forward for this!

It's a big UX problem... Very annoying.
i'm sure it's complicated to implement, BUT why other apps (for ex. Notion) works perfectly? 🤔 So there is a solution, Capacities just need to apply it as others did.

Yurii Piskun I think it just boiled down to the fact that there were too many shortcuts to refactor, and only a few users (mostly me) complained about it, so the team saw no point in spending time on it for now.
It's a pity (I've been waiting for a fix for two years), but I still hope they will find the resources in the future. Even with this problem, Capacities has become my go-to app.
P.S. Glad to see you here! I was a big fan of your plugins when I was using LogSeq!
