I have a question about keyboard localisation and keyboard shortcuts... I'm using Sigil with the interface in english but my keyboard is french and my system language is french.

I am trying to set a keyboard shortcut for "Restructure to Sigil norm". I want to use CTRL+* since it seems like an easy to remember and conflict-free choice. But when I type that in the preferences dialogue, Sigil tells me I have typed CTRL+\ and it conflicts with Back. The * on my keyboard is not on the same key as the \ so I thought maybe in this specific case only Sigil does not recognise my keyboard locale, but in regular use it obviously does because if I am writing a regex for instance the S/R dialogue correctly enters the *. I tried switching the interface language to french and relaunching Sigil, this did not work, then I tried looking up an english language keyboard to see where is the asterisk on that one and typing the equivalent keys for * (CTRL+SHIFT+8) but then Sigil said I typed CTRL+SHIFT+\ (in fact to type \ on my keyboard I need to type ALT GR+8).

Now I am just confused...

Is this a bug? Is * forbidden in keyboard shortcuts? Am I doing something wrong?

This is what my keyboard looks like:



Thanks to anyone who can help me...
