Alternate keyboard shortcuts for international keyboards
planned
John Osterman
There are suggestions for customizeable shortcuts and more shortcuts already, but I want to suggest an additional set of shortcuts for those who don't have US layouts, so that the current ones can be kept for those that enjoy them and so that the same functionality can be given to everyone else without significant development time like customizing shortcuts might require.

This is an important accessibility and usability issue that often gets overlooked — users on AZERTY, QWERTZ, or other non-US keyboard layouts can hit dead zones where the shortcuts just don't work as expected because they're mapped to US-QWERTY positions.
We've made keyboard shortcut improvements across several releases: v5.160.0 (March 2025) added a new shortcut to toggle the sidebar panel, v6.101.0 (February 2026) fixed copy shortcut conflicts and updated default tab navigation behavior, and v6.80.0 fixed Select All shortcut propagation issues.
Your idea of shipping alternate shortcut mappings (without replacing the existing US ones) is actually a really elegant solution — lower development cost than full customization while still covering international users fairly. We don't have this built out yet, but it's a smart approach we'll bring to the team.
In the meantime, if specific shortcuts are completely broken on your layout, please share the details so we can investigate. Follow shortcut updates at https://taskade.com/changelog — thank you for advocating for international users!

Keyboard shortcuts on non-US keyboards
mherzog
This problem has already been reported several times and for quite some time.
Users are unable to use some keyboard shortcuts (especially the most important “Ctrl + /“ on non-US keyboards.
This is annoying as hell and a common problem in many apps. Please solve it somehow.
