Maybe it's easier to use that shortcut with a US keyboard layout - IIRC, the double-quote key is just above the right Shift key.
You can't expect a tiny startup like Microsoft to consider things like i18n!

What annoys me most about it is that you can do it in Word - keyboard shortcuts can be changed.
But Word doesn't have CTRL+; and that's a really useful combo in Excel: today's date.
They go to a lot of effort to get them "looking the same" and ignore all the "nice touches" that make them work for users ...

I think you can instead of Ctrl+/- just Shift-Scroll-wheel to zoom in/out. And to copy stuff in Excel just Shift-drag-mouse. Or do you hate your mouse? Also you could check out LibreOffice.
I cannot check, I am Linux user now, and happy as Elephant about that fact.

Don't think it did - I suspect that the CP Redis problem is back and messages are getting "Lost", only to turn up again later.
I've had several email notifications today that don't have messages attached when I go to reply ...

There is also a weird thing now where a message linked on the front page is inaccessible. It is by JSOP.

I'm guessing it's this back again: Missing Messages[^]

not the first time those furry fvckers have caused issues - there was a pneumonic plague epidemic in 1911, in North East China

Probably referring to the rats or animals, but it was actually the fleas they carried that was the issue.

It's not unusual, Mongolia and China typically have a handful of cases per year. Arizona has a handful of cases of the plague per year too. In Madagascar they have/had bigger problems with the plague, with periodic outbreaks, not just isolated cases.

Actually, plague pops up here and there, rather consistently, particularly in the western US (for example).
On the page from a google search (buebonic plague in usa):
Quote: The plague, in spite of its lethal reputation, is not uncommon in the U.S. and it is usually no longer a death sentence. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the plague was first introduced in the U.S. in 1900 by rat-infested steamships. It is most common in the western U.S.Nov 25, 2019 China's main claim-to-fame, aside from a massive population, will remain their abuse of that population's human rights.

And I've got some bad news.
The good news is 2020 is now over half over.
The bad news?
2020 is only just over half over.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm afraid it's only going to get worse...
Even with the many extra deaths of COVID-19 the world population is still growing.
We're running out of resources, animals are going extinct, we're polluting and destroying the environment, people are radicalizing...
At this point I can't really see this ending well.
I just hope I won't live to see the end of the world, but I'm not even sure of that anymore

I wouldn't worry. The advanced countries will probably collapse first, when the supply chains break down. The less developed countries, with their shorter supply chains, will probably last longer...
