Hi All,

Maybe somebody knows, how to solve the problem with some Polish
characters in XMind. The standard way to get the specific Polish
characters with diacritic marks (ą, ę, ó, ś etc) in Windows on a
standard US keyboard is by a combination of right Alt (Alt Gr) key + a
basic character (so, e.g. ą = a + AltGr). Unfortunately, in XMind
AltGr key is being used for some special operations, as AltGr+n opens
an external folder, or AltGr+a deletes a previously written text. Is
there some simple way to disable the use of interfering shortcuts, in
order to be able to write Polish texts?

Regards,

Wojciech Śledzinski

BTW, n in my last name should be with an accent, i.e. ń, however even
here I cannot get it with AltGr+n!

Hi Sir

Why don't you change the binding shortcuts in the preferences dialog?  As I know, you can change all of them at the shortcuts setting page.

Sincerely!

Stephen

Hi,

I didn't know about this possibility. Now, Ichecked it and,
unfortunately, it doesn't work. By this I mean that thyere is no
binding command for AltGr+anything, and it seems that the combination
AltGr+n works the same way as Ctrl+n. However, even if I unbind the
command New from Ctrl+n key combination, the AltGr+n still performes
the command New File. Seems as it is a BUG. Moreover, I installed now
the new revision, 3.1, and the similar bug for AltGr+a is now fixed,
so that at least I can write ą with AltGr+a, what was impossible in
the rev. 3.0.2

In any case thanks Stephen for your suggestion.

Regards,

Wojciech

Hi Wojciech 

Maybe the binding keys are not shown completely. but you can find the command, which are all listed. 
After finding that command, click it, and type the new binding key at the "Binding" field
Click "Apply" and "Ok"

Sincerely!

Stephen
