As on Spanish keyboard ; is the shift key of , it's not accessible as short. May be it happens in other keyboard layouts.
It is true for Finnish also, but I think this should be closed as WONTFIX, because if we go down this road and start changing default shortcuts, there will always be someone with a "less fortunate keyboard layout".
Btw. what is the shortcut for fixed date in Spanish Excel? Ctrl+; for fixed date is apparently derived from Excel.
I think the issue is restricted to some composed keys, in a quick look to custom keyboard options, like ";" "[" "]" could be affected. I don't know what it is in Spanish excel, in 33 years working with spreadsheets, I have used excel only a few times. I'm not talking about change default, but if was needed, why not, surely it wouldn't the first. I think there are two ways that can go together: - Add another shortcuts for problematic keys in the most common languages. There are a lot of unused combinations, I think not a problem having two combinations for the same. - Localized, if I'm not wrong shortcuts are localized, so why not this one. If it's not an issue for you, lucky you, but it doesn't mean the same for other people, I have seen a lot of times questions about how to introduce a fixed date in a cell. BTW, how users know what is happening?, they can tried to use it, but it does nothing. One of the main purpose it's make things as agreeable as possible to the USERS. so this doesn't look for me like a good election, there are millions of keyboards with non US layout, so it's important to maintain the respect by a plural world as much as possible.

Some LO shortcuts are localized. Simple example Ctrl+A in en-US is for Select All, but in es it is for the Open dialog.
