2 small UI problems

I am trying to register the materials I get from harvesting and killing NPC and I have a problem when doing that:

some material label (like maple logs) is written in dark blue on a dark background, that make it hard to read. As I am trying to register what I get from each node I have discovered that I am often getting the wrong numbers as the registered total and what I have in my inventory are different.
It is a minor thing but annoying, and if some of the document drop have the same issue reading them will become a core.
I hope it will be only a minor change to make it light blue or some other readable color.

A second issue is a problem for some of non US keyboard users. We don't have a tilde key and the key in that position (\ for me) don't work for changing weapon set.
Changing the window setting for the keyboard so that it is treated as a US keyboard when playing don't seem a good idea.
it is possible to correct this problem?

Did you try the single open quote (`) if you have one, as that is the actual key?

The other option is to make a modified keybinding to use whatever you want by using export and import:

Another option for changing weapon sets you may know of already are the two "switches" in the UI. Personally, I'm not a fan of mouse clicking if there is a keybind alternative, but if you don't mind then its the simplest solution.

' don't work.

Modifying my key binding can be a solution, but it can conflict with the future builds. It is hard to guess if a specific key will be used for something in the future.

For Non-US keyboards (I have a Qwertz), I found that it was the '$' key that swapped weapons.

Not ('), you want (`). Might be somewhere else on your keyboard, maybe near your Backspace. If that doesn't work try whatever button is to the left of your (1) key. Still no luck? Modify those keybindings. :)

My keyboard uses the Finnish multilingual layout and my [swap] button defaults to ö which would be ;: characters on a standard american qwerty (or the button to the right of L). Not the most useful default. I hope the keybindings will be more universal one day. :)

After some fighting bugger ups, I now days just switch to US keyboard. In windows it is just a mouseclick at the start of the game, my computer is even so compliant that it switch back to my normal Swedish keyboard when I quit...

Apparently the keybinding is the best solution. Thanks to all of you the input.

I am the only one that find dark blue on dark background hard to read, or you are all in agreement and so think that is not necessary to comment?

It's been mentioned a number of times. I find it incredibly difficult to read.

I assume the devs are planning to fix it, but consider it low priority.
