Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-14 13:34:08 EST 
Ctrl-Shift is one of the standard keyboard hotketys for locale switching. 
Although we do not prevent the use of locale switching currently by using 
accelerators with Ctrl-Shift this is still a potential problem.

Please note that Ctrl-Shift still works - the mode switching occurs on key 
release so if Ctrl-Shift+T (for instance) is selected the mode switching will 
not occur. 

If the keys are released after seleting just Ctrl-Shift then the mode switches 
as expected.

Low priority if we decide to change at all.

This functionality is still available via the menu so I am switching the 
keyword to usability. Also key bindings should take care of this for the 
platform where is is an issue (Chinese).
