Hi!

When working with texts in more than one language (program examples
commented for educational purposes; I've been doing quite lot of it lately),
it is annoying to switch between the languages to execute menu commands
(e.g. changing attributes).

A natural solution would be to allow secondary shortcut characters for
menu entries -- one for each keyboard layout used.
Typically one would assign as secondary the character sitting on the same
key as the primary Latin shortcut character.
Then secondary characters need not be shown on the menu.

Perhaps there is a way to let Blackbox understand menu shortcuts
without forcing user to switch to Latin keyboard layout.

Thanks,
Fyodor Tkachov
