The definitive list of Command-Tab keyboard shortcuts

This is probably due to the fact that the code which implements these features operates at a lower level than the rest of the OS. It seems to determine 'Q' and 'H' by the signals sent on the bus rather than their logical mappings via the keyboard layout. I'm assuming a french keyboard uses azerty layout, so the key which is labeled 'A' sends the same signal as they key labeled 'Q' on a qwerty keyboard. I noticed this issue myself because I use the dvorak layout, where q->' and h->d.
