Avatar can only be operated with English keyboard. Switching to other languages leads to the loss of control over the movement of the avatar.

[MikeBrother]

When you change language on keyboard (Alt+Shift for Windows) avatar cant be controlled. User can control his avatar only with English keyboard language. Tested languages: Hebrew, Russian, Greek. Detail: When Hebrew language is active on keyboard user press W button and avatar plays T-pose animation. Other buttons (ASD) are dead with Hebrew language.

Dale reproduced this on Linux with Russian keyboard layout.

Seems like this is a well known issue in Qt with a recent workaround (includes detailed history of the problem). Alternatively we can use SDL2, which is made for games and has had layout independent key codes since forever.
