I have a suggestion: Change the button to open menu from ctrl to a button who we don't use in edit (for example alt). Because we use ctrl to get symbols like [, ], { and }.
Hope this is a good, little, suggestion.

I assume you use a non-english keyboard? If so, you should be able to just use ctrl, then ctrl and your key to use the character you want

Use your other Ctrl key, for a simple fix.

In my keyboard (spanish) the problem is the menu opens if you press Ctrl, Alt, Alt Gr (to write { and }) and the other Ctrl

Ah, I suppose that the keyboard is designed to send a series of key codes to emulate things, and that ends up always using the L Ctrl key code.
Use a simple eventPull loop to figure out the vagaries of your keyboard, and edit the edit program so that it uses a key code you don't need a lot.

actually, now that i think about it, non-standard keyboard support seems logical
in fact, maybe there should be a way to add foreign language support as well

The problem with supporting non-standard keyboards is that they tend to be…non-standard. Granted that they can often be non-standard in fairly standard ways, it is nonetheless a real barrier.
Anyway, users can currently change the edit button in the edit program if they so wish. It is not difficult…even without the several detailed tutorials that have been written.

i heard rumors of extended unicode support
if that is true, foreign language support is the next logical step

I made a suggestion for this a while ago. Lua has trouble with Unicode characters. Go to a Lua emulator and type print("À"). It just outputs some weird gibberish.

–snip–
the nice thing about Lua is that it's capabilities are limited only by the interpreter and the environment
if you rewrite the Lua installation (which im not pretending is an easy task in the slightest), extended unicode is possible
EDIT: try
print("À") hereit actually works
