Please note that some shortcuts may not work in versions distributed for non-English markets. This is to make sure that the shortcuts do not interfere with some keyboard functions in national Windows releases. Some shortcuts may also be turned off with Tools : Options : SuperMemo : Trim shortcuts. This is due to problems with using some national (non-English) keyboard drivers.
