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

 

I have found a workaround here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167687

This bug affects only Libreoffice. In other applications (e.g. Gedit,
Nautilus, Thunderbird etc.), the shortcuts work even after switching
layouts. If you remove libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-gnome, the
problem is solved, although libreoffice becomes very ugly.

It should be noted that the bug affects both Ubuntu 13.10 and
UbuntuGnome 13.10. I have tried this workaround in both an Ubuntu and an
UbuntuGnome installation. Libreoffice In Ubuntu became unusable,
although the bug disappeared, whereas in UbuntuGnome Libreoffice could
still be used.

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.
