I use a European keyboard (french) and I can't use ⌘1, ⌘2 etc. to access a specific tab with TM2.
These shorcuts are used by the Finder to choose a Desktop (Space). In the Preferences System, I use the default keys : ^& , ^é . These shortcuts works perfectly but ⌘1, ⌘2 works also perfectly in the Finder and I can't use them in TM2.
So the problem here is that Finder steal the keys?
Is this 10.7? What preference pane are you using? I can’t find where this is set, nor do I really understand what you set, or that something like ^é would be a default key and treated as an alias for ⌘1-n…
So I have two possibilities to switch between Desktops in the Finder and none in TM2 to switch between Tabs !! My question is how to modify the shortcuts in TM2 or in Finder ?
Presumably you want to modify them in “Finder” — but I don’t really know what keys you are referring to. By default ⌘1-4 are used by Finder for the view options in the View menu, but only while Finder is active.
A) Remarks about switching tabs in TM2 I can switch between tabs with ⌘} and ⌘{ but I can also make a switch with ⌘⌥-> and ⌘⌥<-. I think it's strange to have two different shortcuts to make the same action
Because on many European layouts the default keys (⌘{ / ⌘}) are awkward or impossible to reach, so we provide an alternative, similarly there are also an alternative to ⌘[ / ⌘] — neither of these alternatives are listed anywhere, so not sure why this is “strange”. You can also close many windows with both ⌘W, ⎋, and ⌘.
