[Bug 1226962] Re: Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout in 13.10 and 14.04

 

I confirm everything Roman Vorobets said,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1226962/comments/35

Now when using Dvorak and Russian layouts hotkeys are on one physical
key when in English-Dvorak layout, and on other key when in Russian
(they are placed to position where corresponding latin key was in QWERTY
layout). It worked flawlessly for years, and now it's broken in the same
way as in Windows, wich never figured out to fix it.

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.
