as of now shortcuts in Hindi is not set, we are just using the
english shortcuts as speficied in original strings ( so  F for
&File  etc)
 What I have observed is shortcuts with  active dialogs (eg pressing
C on Cancel button with focus on it doesnt work),  and shortcuts with
Alt+ combination is not working , while  Ctrl+ ones are working fine.
ie while using Hindi map, pressing Ctrl+O brings up file open dialog
etc. so I guess we have missed something in keyb settings so that Alt
key isnt being properly used. will have to check on that.
