Make keyboard shortcuts work for different input languages
I'd love to see an update that lets me use the same physical keys for shortcuts while I have a different keyboard than English selected.
For example, the backslash key () is used for the line tool. But when switching to German, the same physical key returns (#) and in Romanian we have a (â).
I wish that all shortcuts activated by the press of the physical keys work as intended in the interface regardless of the language currently active so I don't have to switch so much between languages just to have my shortcuts work again.
This could work by letting users assign more than one character in the keyboard shortcut panel, so that I can input manually all the characters I need and resolve any conflicts.
Of course this feature could be extended to all Adobe software.

Same, I use English versions of as application language but have a Danish keyboard so shortcuts using characters such as square brackets, tilde, etc. are unavailable for me

Same. I always prefer to use English as application language whenever possible for several reasons (weird translations to German and/or looking for tips, bugs tutorials whatever, it's always easier ;-)
Would be great all around the whole CC.

Very much yes.
I had to build custom Autohotkey script to mitigate this.
