Make shortcuts independent to layouts

[JarKz]

Hi y'all!

I met a problem with shortcuts like Ctrl-C, Ctrl-T and another on layouts other than English because in code gtk4 uses keyval on specific layout. For example, the keyval on any English layouts for letter 'c' returns always 99, but in Belarusian layout - 1747.

I tried to figure out with key codes which are fixed, but can't find any information about it and I don't want to enter into unsafe gtk4 code. So... I gave up with it.

Any idea to fix it?

uff not so much.. we should ask the gtk guys.. I have trouble with multi language support :/

Hi, @gabm , I've researched something and have a question for you. The application it only Linux targeted or should work on Windows as well?

UPD: Later I remembered about MacOS. Is need to consider also that the application ships for MacOS?

[gabm]

currently the only users seem to be on Linux. I think even mostly on Wayland.

I read that using gtk on windows is not so easy (?) and i have no idea about MacOS.

I don't want to exclude any platform, but we should focus on Linux.

That's nice. I've asked gtk4 guys at the matrix and one answered that I can use evdev scancode to match key.

I don't know what is better — use additional config value which activates the independent layout or use it as fallback. What do you think?
