The System reserves certain keyboard shortcuts for itself. Especially when you are using a keyboard
(input method) other than U.S., be aware that (for example) using "N" (even in combination) is
interpreted as a New File command. You can, however, use the keys of the active input method and
paste them into the text edit box.
Set Your Language Preferences
A complete explanation of using the Language preferences appears in the section “Writing in
Multiple Languages” which begins on page 27.
