Make US keyboard shortcuts general for all language packs

[Guest]

All to me known applications with an implemented search function uses the
keyboard shortcut Ctrl-f. I am currently using different language versions in
school and at home and I am always confused by the fact that the Ctrl-f
shortcut in my private swedish licence of word is referring to type change
"bold".
This is a grave affordance error and in conflict with routine of body
movement stored in the long term memory. I think you have to compromise with
the language consistency and change the default keybord shortcuts to US
standard and, in this case, the swedish as optional.

I agree and would second this, even though the shortcuts may not make as
much sense in other languages or be as easy to remember. But keep in mind
that you can customize keyboard shortcuts, so you can reassign Ctrl+B to
Bold and Ctrl+F to Find.
