Well, as I've noted - adding duplicate shortcuts for the symbols generated by keys under alternative layouts is a poor workaround because the targeted symbols will also be generated in other use cases where I don't want the global shortcuts to trigger (or worse - I want other shortcuts to trigger, for example I may want different global shortcuts for CTRL+` vs CTRL+;). >From looking at the Kwin debug console, I assume that what it calls "scan code" is the value from `QKeyEvent::nativeScanCode()` - and that seems to be stable for the physical key: i.e. the same physical key always generates the same scan code. A solution I think would be to store the scan code and trigger the global action when matching the scan code (and required modifiers) and not the letter. (In reply to Andrey from comment #12) > One possible solution to this in Qt would be try to switch to Latin layout I'm very confused about the term "Latin" to describe a layout (used here and in Qt code liberally) - there are many different Latin layouts (Dvorak comes to mind) and these don't map the same letters to the same key... As I noted in my comment on bug 355046, I think that in a multi-layout work environment global shortcuts (especially) should be mapped to keys in a "non-layout-specific" manner - i.e. use native scan codes. I believe this is how it works under X11. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
