⚬ PROBLEM:
I switch between English (Latin) and Russian (Cyrillic) keyboard layouts frequently, and letter shortcuts work only with the language I set them in. For example, I set Q for quality in English and the same key types Й in Russian layout. I have to press Q in English for the shortcut to work.
I never remember which layout is on at the moment, it’s really frustrating when I press a key and the shortcut set for it doesn’t work, and I don’t want to have to switch the layout just to use a shortcut.
⚬ SOLUTION:
Do the action when a certain key is pressed, no matter what letter it types.
⚬ ALTERNATIVES:
Setting synonym hotkeys manually, that has already been requested in #648, could do the same, but that’s kinda counterintuitive. You would still have to remember to set all the variants. Totally not a good idea.
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
Useful for all people who switch between different layouts a lot, for example if some of their languages’ alphabets aren’t Latin.
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
Some people could possibly use the same key in different layouts for different actions?.. solvable by making this feature an option.
⚬ CONTEXT:
YouTube’s hotkeys don’t depend on your language.
