Bug Description
(Sorry for this very bad english...)
I have the latest Insckape's version (0.46) And I would like to use the letter spacing tool...
The "Inkscape keyboard and mouse reference" tells me :
Alt+> expand line/paragraph by 1 pixel
Shift+Alt+> expand line/paragraph by 10 pixels
Alt+< contract line/paragraph by 1 pixel
Shift+Alt+< contract line/paragraph by 10 pixels
But when I do theese advice, It's like if I was doing :
Ctrl+Alt+> make the text object taller by 1 pixel
Shift+Ctrl+Alt+> make the text object taller by 10 pixels
Ctrl+Alt+< make the text object shorter by 1 pixel
Shift+Ctrl+Alt+< make the text object shorter by 10 pixels
I tried to put the Shift before, or the caps Lock, or with Alt Gr, but it still doesn't work...
Could you help me to solve this little "bug" ?
(I forgot to mention : I have a french keyboard and Win Vista...)

It works for me, although rotating commands dont't work in my Spanish keyboard. Could someone test it with a French keyboard?
However, in the reference it's said "These commands work when editing a regular text object. Kerning does not work in flowed text." What kind of text object are you editing? Please attach a file if you feel unsure.
