2025-10-19 Keyboard shortcut fix for Northern European layouts

  • Updated

We fixed a keyboard shortcut issue affecting Northern European keyboard layouts on websites using accessWidget. Previously, typing the symbol keys @, !, *, (, and ) triggered widget shortcuts. We've removed the Option + 2 shortcut and updated others (Option + 1, 8, 9, 0) to only activate outside input fields. This ensures users can type freely without triggering unwanted actions, while still keeping accessibility shortcuts available when needed.
