A user reported a problem to use the "clear formatting" shortcut with a french AZERTY keyboard. The shortcut is "Ctrl + \", but "\" is only accessible as "AltGr + 8". First, even with, "Ctrl + AltGr + 8", the shortcut doesn't work. I was unable to find a keyboard combination that triggers the "clear formatting" shortcut. When using a classic QWERTY keyboard, "Ctrl + \" works on the same computer/browser. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51507 But, when testing, I noticed an other problem, with a behaviour depending on OS/browser when using "Ctrl + AltGr + 8" with text selected: * On W7 + Chrome 29, the selected text is replaced by "\", but VE doesn't see any modification: save is disabled, undo is disabled, ... * On W7 + Firefox 23, the selected text is replaced by "\", and VE sees that text has been modified * On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS + Firefox 20, a user report that all page is selected. Same kind of problems happen with "Ctrl + Alt + 8", "Alt + 8", ... or other digits. https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipédia:ÉditeurVisuel/Avis#Raccourci_clavier_pour_effacer_la_mise_en_forme
