Hello,


In short, i have an french "azerty" layout type of keyboard that is correctly set in windows as default layout. Now, for some reason unknown to me "firefox" only doesn't use some hotkey's correct in youtube, → UNLESS i change the windows keyboard layout to English - US keyboard or United States - International keyboard does the trick too !?!? That doesn't seems to be right !!??

In goolge chrome i don't have that problem, a matter of fact. I can change my keyboard layout to any language i want to , and the hotkey's will alway's work in chrome !!!

So, this ↑ is mind blowing !!


cheers, TD

...Update... So, most of Youtube shortcuts do work in firefox EXCEPT for this one → . (Frame Skip forward)  !! , (Frame skip backwards) does seems to work !!!

All shortcuts test so far do however work, →ONLY← when i change windows language preference to English - US !!! But choosing a wrong keyboard layout causes characters to shift places on my keyboard…

My keyboard is an Corsair K55 RGB btw.. And no, the icue software has nothing to do with it, since all youtube shortcuts do work fine in other browser, no matter wich language settings in windows i choose (i.e french (comma)... !?!


So, that's baffling ... -_- !

Cheers, TD
