I still wonder why typing in Dvorak should be different, because *some
other* layout exists.
I want to be able to quickly switch to German layout, if friends are at
my place. I don't see why the German layout can't behave German just as
well as the Dvorak layout could behave Dvoraky. A German keyboard has
the y where the US 'z' is, so of course ctrl-y is on top of y. In
Dvorak it should be exactly the same (no matter what other keymap my
system also happens to have available).
Of course you're not the person I need to convince here. It's just sad
that the system isn't more configurable. I think it wouldn't be hard to
get the "Russian" functionality with something like an override, i.e. a
config file that specified where on the non-latin keyboard a ctrl-C
would be mapped (instead of the default that is hard-coded somewhere).
And of course, what we want is merely working behavior for *latin*
keyboards, not (just) for kyrillic, which would be a special case, as
many languages just use latin. Those languages should map whatever key
they have to the corresponding ctrl-key (as described above).
Is this already decided by some key (political) Gnome or Gtk developers,
or do you think there is hope?
