Hi @kompilainenn, thanks for reporting.

Please can you confirm if semicolon ';' needs the shift key in your keyboard, I have the same issue with a Spanish keyboard where it is the shift in comma key.

I understand that the key combination should not require changing the keyboard layout. so I expect that the combination of ctrl+; in my case would be ctrl+Ж  (the second button on the left of Enter, see. picture).

Russian keyboard layout in the sign ";" located on a number key 4 in the top row of the keyboard (see. picture). Activating it requires pressing key Shift. When you press Ctrl+Shift+4 in RU-layout, still nothing happens.

Right, seems that semicolon it's not recognized if is needed the shift key to get it. If I am not wrong because is a different combination than Ctrl+;.

I think this is an issue with all languages where semicolon needs an auxiliary key in their keyboard.

As a workaround, set the English layout as "default input language" one.

simply enter the date directly into the cell, than to remember that there is the language input in the settings
