Two keyboard layouts, but shortcuts with symbols only work on the default one

Bug

I use two keyboard layouts, pt & us, but to use keybindings with symbols, I have to call them always as if my current keyboard layout was "us", which is the default one. The default is also to use the same source/layout on all windows.

To Reproduce

For instance, take the keybinding $mod + Shift + ?, if I press the "?" in the pt layout, which corresponds to "_" in the the us layout, nothing happens. The shortcut will only work, regardless of active keyboard layout, it I press the keys corresponding to the US layout (default one).

Expected behavior

Shortcuts should work with the selected/active keyboard layout, not with the default one.

Configuration file(s)

I have not changed the default configuration files (yet).

This may be due to two competing configuration systems; gnome/gsettings and i3. I do not have a solution for you at this time unfortunately @digital-tinta

Hello, I also have to alternate regularly between a UK keyboard at home, and a FR one at work. Any updates on having Regolith play nice with either one that is selected at the moment ? Cheers !
