This is easy to notice if you're typing polish text, typing in "ś" (which is a commonly used character) requires pressing AltGr+s (Wiki about AltGr). But because AltGr key is treated as exactly the same as the combination Ctrl+Alt (WebKit Bugzilla discussion) pressing AltGr+s in Brackets causes "Save all" and no character output.

This can happen for any combination using Alt+Ctrl but the only other shortcut using this is the live preview (Alt+Ctrl+P), but (based only on the wiki article) it doesn't look like it causes any issues.

FIX:
I usually fix this by changing the shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+S which makes saving and saving all (Ctlr+S, Ctrl+Shift-S) similar to closing and closing all (Ctlr+W, Ctrl+Shift-W).

EDIT:
The shortcut was changed here: adobe/brackets#1332

Reviewed, marking move to backlog. This is a more general problem--lack of localized keyboard shortcuts--which we currently have on the backlog: https://trello.com/c/4k2yalBd.`@`adrocknaphobia, we might want to consider moving that further up on the backlog since this is a pretty bad problem for non-English users. Also, note that we're thinking of changing the way key bindings are registered as part of some upcoming extension API work (cc@dangoor), though I'm not sure that would make this easier by itself since it might not actually involve making bindings fully declarative.
