Many programs stop replying to the letter keys on the keyboard when switching to the Russian layout. For example, a blender. Both Inkscape and Gimp have problems. In Ubuntu, POP! OS, Manjaro, Open Suse, no problem.
This acute problem is still unresolved. Please pay attention of the developers.
This should be fixed by entering the following commands to enable the hotkeys for the Russian keyboard layout:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attent/java-non-latin-shortcuts
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
restart unity-setting-daemon
After then you should restart your computer and check whether the hotkeys are working correctly.
Concerning non-working keyboard shortcuts for Russian keyboard layout: I have reported this issue to blender developers (see here). Based on their answer, this might be OS-specific (i.e. not Linux-specific, but elementary OS-specific) issue, because Russian shortcuts seem to work fine in blender on Ubuntu 18.04.
@moderator I'd like to report this issue as a bug. Which channel would you suggest as appropriate for this kind of issue?
