I think Nashev is talking about assigning hot keys by scan code rather than by character code. E.g. on a German keyboard the 'z' and 'y' are switched and the 'z' key is left to the 't' key. If a program assigns a hot key to 'z' by character code than the user has to press the 'z' key which is a different key on the German keyboard. However if a hot key is assigned by scan code (not sure if it's the right term) than the hot key is still assigned the physical key in the lower left corner.
