    Description

      1. In not a programmer, but affected user, this is one of issues preventing me to move to Linux.

      2. In Plasma keyboard and mouse shortcuts does not work in multiple layouts.

      For example:
      a) I cannot set CTRL-W to my mouse button to close a tab, in Russian it does not work, since it is CTRL-Ц in Russian and KDE binds not to physical buttons, but to a layout.

      b) Set CTRL-Shift-> (the key right to left hand Shift) to open some app (I use it for calculator). It will work with English, Estonian, but not Russian layout (in Russian it is CTRL-Shift-| ).

      As I understood from those discussions, it is a QT issue:

      and
