Can the Harmony send CTRL+ALT+X commands? I have a couple of shortcuts on the Desktop that I don't really want to add to the Taskbar. As far as I know, tho assign them a shortcut, they need to be in the CTRL+ALT+.. format..?

You can assign shortcuts F keys Smile

I'm not sure how they work though - even on the PC. I have assigned a shortcut of F12 to a Desktop shortcut. Pushing F12 on the keyboard) does nothing though..

I have the original pictures so I'll try to find time at the weekend to post them up somewhere.

Try a different F key not F12 not sure why that key doesn't work must be a reason its the same for me

I use F keys purely for what you want to do Smile

You can assign F1, F2 etc even though windows uses for them all ready your shorcut takes priority

My current thinking on the backslash sending a # is that the MCE thinks it's a US keyboard. Sending " results in a @ and vice versa - which is what a US keyboard setting does.
Don't know how to change it though. Sad

Upgrade to a nightly build or wait for the v11.0 beta to start. I've completely rewritten the keyboard handling in v11.0 and it now handles regional keyboards properly.

If your running windows its easy to change from US keyboard to another Language just go to "Regional and Languages"

Well yes, but this will make no difference to the Dharma key mapping.
