Changing my input language from English to something else will make shortcuts containing letters (for example super+(h/j/k/l)) not work.

Global keyboard shortcuts should not depend on the currently active keyboard language, otherwise doing simple things like switching windows becomes convoluted (switch layout, super+h, switch layout back)

In Gnome (and pretty much every desktop) that is how it works. Keyboard shortcuts work regardless of current language.

Cases

  • If you have an English layout and non-English layouts, the location of shortcuts will be based on whatever English layout you have.
  • If you don't have any English layout configured, non-English layouts will have shortcuts according to some default (probably QWERTY)
  • If you have multiple English layouts, they will each have shortcuts positioned according to their layout, non English layouts will inherit from one of them (the first one/main one, etc...)
