International keyboards are a major PITA. I once worked really hard on a FP/M app that totally failed at its first demo because of &*%^*&^% French keyboards.
You see, on French Mac keyboards, the numeric row is backwards. The numerals are all shifted. FP/M disallowed data entry in numeric fields if the shift key was pressed.
So I get this panic call from Paris about the app not working. My immediate suggestion, like any good nerd, was to use the numeric keypad. Of course, they were demonstrating the app from a Powerbook which didn't have numeric keypad. <g> (That company later bought external numeric keypads for their French users. <g>)
