Hi Jan,

Sorry for the late reply...

Hmm, that is interesting. Nevertheless, this problem should be
handled by the keyboard wildcards

(kbd-wildcards
  ("Mod1-" "" #t)
  ("Mod2-" "" #t)
  ("Mod3-" "" #t)
  ("Mod4-" "" #t)
  ("Mod5-" "" #t)
  ...)

Maybe David is willing to take a look at this; he has been working on
the keyboard shortcut mechanism lately.

Yes, we plan to support different encoding schemes in the future.
At the moment, a patch has been integrated which localizes
the cut and paste operations.

Best wishes, Joris
