Italian users have told here not to be able to insert a simple caret (^) using the appropriate key on their keyboard.
Same problem with a French keyboard. Technical support recommended to use AltGr+9 for exponentiation. Lucky for us, there is a second shortcut available, which is compatible with my keyboard. Lucky me...

So I definitely would prefer to be able to (re)define keyboard shortcuts. M$ Word sure has more shortcuts than Prime and we are able to redefine them without problems, get warned when we overwrite an existing one, etc. Implementing that feature should not be that difficult for a decent proamming team but I have my doubts if the ressources which PZT devotes to the development of Prime would allow to tackle that task. Given how Prime is flagged they may have different priorities.
I don't use shortcuts in MS Word, so I can't say, but a lot of video games do, and warn about duplicates, etc. And if they don't, I usually curse them for not telling me before I spent money on their crappy software.
If I was mean, I would say that assuming that the whole world uses US keyboards is increadibly pretentious, and almost reason enough not to buy the software (if they dont want me to be able to use it, why should I give them my money ?).
Anyway, Like Werner says, it is probably at the bottom of the priority list, considering the many and significantly more problematic issues with Mathcad Prime...
