Hi, I really love the plugin and use it on everyday basis, but there is one really annoying bug.

The alt+c and alt+x are used to type ć and ź characters in the polish keyboard.

There needs to be an option in plugin settings to change the shortcuts or maybe just turn them off.

This shouldn't be interfering... the keyboard shortcut is control-alt-meta-c. Are you experiencing a bug where the shortcut is being triggered with just alt-c? If so, we would appreciate more info about how to reproduce this bug. Thanks!

I did some digging and here's what I found.

Firstly I checked if shortcut is actually right and it is: combo: "accel-alt-control-c". So this wasn't the case.

I'm using Ubuntu and Windows. It turned out it happens only on Windows. I tried both on regular Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition.

So my guess was the keyboard. I came across this Atom issue atom/atom#11289 from March this year.

It turns out that on Windows international keyboards rALT is treated same as CTRL-ALT shortcut.

They did some workaround describing it in this issue atom/atom-keymap#35

I may try to actually dig up the solution they did, but need to find some time for it. :)

OK, I'm having the same problem on Windows. Whenever I try to enter ć in firefox page shot opens. I use right Alt + C to enter the letter ć.

We need this, I have to disable the addon whenever I'm not using it

We'll be disabling the hotkey in the next release (#2107)
