Problem with keyboard shortcut on German keyboard

There is a problem with the 'My Documents' keyboard shortcut ( CTRL + ; ) on keyboards with german layout: it does not work.

Instead the 'Network Neighborhood' ( CTRL + , ) dialog appears.

The cause may be that ';' is on the same key with ',' in the german layout so that for 'My Documents' one has to press 'CTRL + SHIFT + ,'

Regards,

Eduard

Try 'CTRL+ü' for 'My Documents', it works for me.

As Eduard stated the shortcut on a German keyboard should be CTRL+(SHIFT+','), but this one seem to be predefined for the 'Network Neighbourhood'.
Per the documentation in http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/features/keyboard.html the NN should be brought up with Ctrl+',' but it also comes up with Ctrl+Shift+','. Can the latter one be redefined to bring up 'My Documents'?

Are other shortcuts known that do not work correctly on non-US keyboard layouts?
