I'm using a german keyboard and the shortcut cmd-; is inaccessible because ';' is shift-, I couldn't find a way to customise the shortcut in options. Sorry if I was too stupid to find it. Great work otherwise.

  Lots of stuff seems broken by default if you are on an exotic layout. I am on a Macbook with a Danish-layout, and ALT+ARROW_LEFT/ARROW_RIGHT doesn't work out of the box in iterm2, however it seems to work if you rebind, or type this into .inputrc: "\e\e[D": backward-word "\e\e[C": forward-word I'd love to switch to an american keyboard, because lots of Unix things seems impossible to type with my current keyboard, but maybe I am just being stupid.

    I switched from a Norwegian keyboard to a UK keyboard with intl. English map on my MacBook. Default keyboard shortcuts suddenly made so much more sense - and I can code without having to use my nose when I run out of fingers for modifier keys. ()[]{}\|/:;' are all available using at most a single modifier (many of them without). Scandinavian characters are available using a single modifier for when I don't code, ex alt-a for å. Definitive productivity boost for me.

      On the one hand, I appreciate that English is as pervasive as it is in software engineering, being an American... on the flip side, it's a bit disappointing how little effort is often made to make sites and applications less friendly to foreign inputs and layouts (including inputting names).

Good to know. You can customize shortcuts by going to prefs>keys. Click the + to add a new key mapping. Press the shortcut you want. For Action choose "Select Menu Item…" and then find the item you're looking for in the popup menu that appears (Edit>Open Autocomplete…, in your case).
