Keyboard shortcuts do not work with the Russian keyboard layout

Hi! Many keyboard shortcuts do not work when the Russian keyboard layout is active. To use them, I have to switch to the English layout first.

This interrupts the workflow, especially when working with Russian text and frequently switching between typing and design tools.

Please make keyboard shortcuts work consistently regardless of the active keyboard layout.

Hi, @Nikita Karpinskii 👋 Thanks for the great suggestion. Are there any specific hotkeys that you often use that don’t work correctly? No need for an exhaustive list, but 3-5 examples would help a lot when sharing this feedback. Thank you! — Jaycee

Thanks for reply! The main issues occur with the following shortcuts for aligment: Option + A, Option + W, and Option + S.

Sometimes they completely break navigation. For example, the Zoom tool can become stuck after this combinations, and I cannot switch it off without leaving or reloading the page.

My macOS keyboard layout is “Russian – PC”.
