Keyboard shortcuts don't work with non-English layouts.

OS: Xubuntu 20.04 Layout: Russian (or other non-Latin)

Textadept's key bindings are based on what the key's typed character would be. Unfortunately, I think you'll have to manually remap your keys. I don't know a way around this.

[winterwolf]

But you somehow handle keys that have no characters - Enter, Backspace, Tab, etc... Probably they have some special codes? Maybe it's possible to gather such codes for all keys?

[rgieseke]

If you have a mapping from russian to Latin layout it might be possible to do that programmatically. For example one could maybe check whether the code is in the range of your alphabet letters and map them to the latin code. Or iterate through the keys table and add shortcuts for different letters.

Ah yes, keys.KEYSYMS does have codes for unprintable keys like the ones you mentioned, arrow keys, home/end, etc. I chose not to use key codes because (ironically) they vary depending on physical keyboard layout.

Tricks like this:

keys["ctrl+м"] = keys["ctrl+v"]

doesn't work! 😭

I inspected table, there is no errors and keys are registered, but they just don't work at all.

You can uncomment this line to inspect what's happening: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept/blob/default/core/keys.lua#L177

This should print something like, e.g. for ctrl+u:

117 nil false   true    false   false   false

This line is also relevant, you might have to add м to keys.KEYSYMS: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept/blob/default/core/keys.lua#L181

[winterwolf]

ctrl+v: 118 nil false true false false false ctrl+м: 1741 nil false true false false false

[rgieseke]

From the manual:

For key values greater than 255, Textadept uses the keys.KEYSYMS lookup table.

What happens if you do keys.KEYSYMS[1741] = 'м'

[winterwolf]

Yes, it works, thank you!

[rgieseke]

Awesome, if you find a table with mappings for your keyboard layout you can add these programmatically to Textadept!

My issue is solved!
