Hotkeys do not work for other keyboard layouts

[xor111xor]

I continue use 0.12.3. On 0.13.1 i don't use hotkeys in other keyboard layout.
Ctrl+Shift+v i get paste - ^V
Same problem with Vim i must switch to EN keyboard layout.

System

OS: arch linux 6.6.15-1-lts
Version: alacritty 0.13.1 (fe2a3c5)
Linux/BSD: X11/Wayland, DE or Compositor and WM: i3-wm, xorg

Same problem with Vim i must switch to EN keyboard layout.

we can't fix it for vim, you should use langmap.

It's strange that it works on st, rxvt and this old version. FINE)

[kchibisov]

Which bindings are you talking about h,j,k,l certainly can't work with non latin layout.

[xor111xor]

Let's fix the problem with a origin terminal. And maybe the problem with neovim will be fixed (I use the vim-plugin-ruscmd for keymaping)

[kchibisov]

idk, for ru you always needed layout mapping, it never worked without it in the first place.

This plugin only clear keymap.
I don't tried reconfig nvim becase same problem in zsh.

I don't understand what exactly is not working for you. When you type in ru you get the ru keys, applications are not aware of them, unless you press something like e.g. ctrl/alt etc, but it never should work in the first place, because no terminal spec forces you to emit the latin chars from the ru layout when you press alt, etc.

If you want so, add bindings.

When I press Ctrl+Shift+V on another keyboard layout, instead of pasting I get the character ^V printed

[kchibisov]

that's expected, ru layout before worked by luck, it never worked in the first place correctly because we don't do latin keysym resolution.

[xor111xor]

Luckily, it works on all other terminals. Thank you

[kchibisov]

yes, because they do latin keysym resolution, but alacritty never did that in the first place. So I'm not sure how it worked before correctly. It never worked on e.g. Wayland for us, because we again, just don't do it yet.

The terminal was normal, I used it for 3 years. I didn't notice any problems with the language.
I haven’t encountered such problems in other terminals for another 10 years))

[kchibisov]

it worked only on x11 because latin keys were always used, in any other configuration it always required to setup bindings for non-latin.

Still, our ancestors were smarter. The universal keyboard is high technology.

[kchibisov]

The algorithm to do that is fairly simple on linux, but if you try to do the same on macOS you'll face the fact that you should hard code layouts information somehow to do translation from ru key to any other key.

And again you can just bind a bunch of keys if you want ru layout working, for me personally it was never a big issue, but I don't use ru layout in my terminal.
