Description Bastien Nocera 2006-01-22 11:54:25 UTC 
Current msg:
The shortcut "%s" cannot be used because it will become unusable to type using this key.
Please try with a key such as Control, Alt or Shift at the same time.

Something better, anyone?
Comment 1 Brent Smith (smitten) 2006-01-22 19:53:43 UTC 
Yeah what about:

"The key "%s" cannot be used by itself.  Please try using with key modifier such as Control, Alt or Shift"

Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2006-01-22 23:47:41 UTC 
Reinout van Schouwen in bug 328225:
"Suggest to replace 'unusable' by 'impossible'."
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2006-01-22 23:52:08 UTC 
Better indeed. I don't think I was really focusing when I wrote this error message ;)
Note that I'll let the control-center maintainer choose and commit what they think is the right message. Reinout's suggestion sounds fine to me.
