Hello @dronmaxman! Thanks a lot for raising the issue.

I'm sorry, but I can't really understand your problem. I'm not sure what keyboard layers are - do you intend to say keyboard layouts instead?

When I swich to Russian language shortcuts stop working.

Does this mean that when you switch languages for the app, shortcuts don't work for you?

I'm sorry if these questions are a bit simplistic - I'm new to working with international users, and haven't really faced such a problem before.

@vsvipul is there anything we could do about this?

The app can listen for keycodes (physical key ids) instead of characters. It's a known problem for apps when they listen for English characters instead of keycodes.

Happy to help with testing. Using English and Russian language inputs on MacOS
