@nazar-pc: Java GUI apps on Linux is a special case. Firstly, they are
no such apps pre-installed, so it is somewhat a non-Ubuntu problem.

Gedit is written in the C programming language and is part of the core
GNOME apps. It is well-support and shortcuts work. It has been working
for 10+ years, since the multi-layout shortcut support was added to
GTK+.

This ability to use shortcuts even when the active layout was not
English, was added to GTK+ (GNOME) at around 2005, perhaps earlier. It
was the first UI toolkit to have such support for shortcuts when the
active layout was not English. Qt did not have it for a long long time
(has it been added there?).

I am inclined to close this report in a few days if we do not get a reproducible case of shortcuts not working.
At the same time, I'll open (if they do not exist) individual reports regarding shortcuts in Java GUI apps and other toolkits that do not have that support.

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.


  Dear Ubuntu users and developers! 
  Please include the following information to your comment about non-latin shortcuts problems:
  1. What Ubuntu version do you have (Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.10 GNOME, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.04 GNOME and so on), upgraded (describe version) or clean installed
  2. What keyboard layout do you have
  3. What shortcut for keyboard layout switching do you use 
  4. On which session you have problems - that is one from Unity, GNOME Shell, GNOME FlashBack/Fallback (Metacity), GNOME FlashBack/Fallback (Compiz)
  5. With which program and its version and origin (Ubuntu repositories, PPA, non-deb binary package from some website) you have problems.

  By providing this information you can make bug-fixing much simpler and
  may be faster.
