Both of these are planned. The fix should make it into the next
distributed version. Settable menu shortcuts wil probably take a
little while longer as there is currently no way to modify them
dynamically with the Object I/O.

Well so do we but I presume this is a common problem with german
Windows software or does it avoid using non-letter ctrl-alt shortcuts
altogether?

Errm, as far as I am aware there is only a source distro. For the C part
look in the OSWindows/Windows_C_12 subdirectory. Hooking the event
handler involves some modification of about 5 Clean modules (assuming
your going to create a process event on the Clean side) and some C glue.
If you plan to try this contact me off-list and I'll try to get you started.
