Loading "default.e4k" solves my problem. I also installed eric4 on linux
(gentoo), got the same keyboard problem as under windows, and loading
"default.e4k" also solved it. I guess this is a bug due to the french locale and
keyboard mapping I'm using under windows as under linux.
Detlev : thank you for your help and your work with eric.
Familie Straub : I don't like eclipse since it's too heavy and java-based. Eric
is what I need : a tool designed for python and Qt4 (even if it can handle more
languages).
