Support for international keyboards

Hannah Port
Due to the differences with international keyboard layouts, the keyboard shortcuts don't function correctly on non-US QWERTY keyboards. For me (on a UK keyboard), the operating system interprets apostrophe key as the grave accent key. Therefore, the apostrophe key doesn't work as Descript's system thinks it is the grave accent key.

@ Symbol Should Work on All Keyboard Layouts
Ryan MacLean
I use a few different keyboard layouts (English, French, Japanese) and unfortunately some of the shortcuts don't work in layouts other than English. Perhaps more annoyingly, not only does the @ key not work (it's pressed without shift on JIS keyboards) shift-2 ALSO does not work, meaning I can't remap a key to hit this symbol on this keyboard.
I'd assume (perhaps incorrectly) that this may be the difference between scan codes, serial keymaps and OS-level mapping?

Shortcut for Scenes ("/") may cause issues for users with Non-US Keyboards and no Number Pad

The formatting of some non-US keyboards means that the slash key will sometimes be Shift + 7. Most keyboards have a number pad with a slash key that also works, but this may cause issues for users with non-us keyboards, and no additional number pad available.
I'm not sure what the solution is but I worry if I get a keyboard without a number pad in the future that this shortcut will no longer work.

Yeah this is a ridiculous oversight.

Am having exactly the same issue. The problem here for me is that the 'import transcript' function requires a lot of correction, as when exporting the rtf file, there are lots of 'special characters' that need to be fixed.
