I do not know much about non-english layouts with Latin character set.
If they all contain a full set of English letters - move key to new
location seems logical. Have no idea what DVORAK layout users think
about it. Hotkeys like ctrl+x ctrl+c ctrl+v looks little absurdly, when
they scattered on keyboard.

As russian user, i'm using cyrillic character set and expect hot keys
use same key regardless of the layout (case 3).

Title:
  Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. 
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. 

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.
