I appreciate the advice. However, I'd like to disagree with
one point. I like the use of Command-number to select windows.
Since this is strictly an optional shortcut, I guess the software
might check for the French or Italian problem and either not offer the
equivalents, or use the symbols on the top line that have the same keycaps
as the numbers.
Actually, this would be real easy to do using KeyTrans in System 4.1.
The keycodes for 1-0 are the same on all keyboards, so you could
just pass them out and see what digit (in US) or special character
(france) you get back, then use this to get the menu equivalents.
Of course, if you have a French version, you can easily have someone
REdit and put those keys into the menus (which would have to be translated
anyway) Are any of these characters dead keys?
