"Default" Hotkeys

Ok my problem is that default hotkeys for abilities will change depending on the language Warcraft is installed in. e.g. Heals defult hotkey is English is 'E' while it is 'L' in German.
If I don't change the hotkey off 'E', people with a German (and other languages) version will get confused when the Tooltip says "H|cffffcc00e|ral - [|cffffcc00Level 1|r]" but the hotkey is actually 'L' for them. The tooltip doesn't also change because it is not the same as the default for Heal.

Now, I think if I could somehow get the editor to think that 'E' was not the default hotkey, I think my problem would be solved. I've already tried shift + enter entering 'e' and 'E' but that doesn't turn the field pink. Is there anything I can do to fake that or am I just going to have to use another hotkey/confuse Germans?

M I S H A P O are the keys that you can't use for abilities in English, I just suggest to define the ones for German and make your mod take in account that condition.

You can modify Units\xxxxxStrings.txt files to remove all hotkeys, and then put the directory into where your world editor resides. Using an editor capable of regular expressions would suffice. If you request, then I can post the files I am currently using.

Here it is. Extract the contents to your World Editor directory so that directory hierarchy becomes (World Editor Directory)\Units\xxxStrings.txt

Thanks, that was brilliant. Just need a German to log on to see if it fixed the problem but I don't see why it shouldn't.
