Ubuntu – Hotkeys in russian keyboard layout

keyboardkeyboard-layoutshortcut-keys

I saw many CLOSED topics about this, BUT none of proposed solutions working. When I switch to russian keyboard, shortcuts (ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+z, etc.) not working in most of applications. I have updated system 14.04. Propose the solution, but don't just close the thread saying that everything is working! Thanks in advance for any help, because I'm realy tired of this and start to think about other Linux distros.

This worked for me

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attente/java-non-latin-shortcuts
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
restart unity-settings-daemon

If you install the xautomation package, you can add a command in System/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts/Custom like:

xte "keyup Meta_L" "keyup c" "keydown Control_L" "key c" "keyup Control_L"

and map that to Meta-C.

Alternative Solution:

Install AutoKey (apt-get install autokey-gtk) and set a phrase to:

Phrase Text: <ctrl>+C (actually type out the <ctrl>+ here)
Paste Using: Keyboard
Abbreviation: None
Hotkey: <super>+v
Window Filter: None

Ubuntu – Russian phonetic keyboard layout

I use it like that:

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu -layout 'us,lt,ru' -variant ',,phonetic_winkeys'

The main thing is 'us,lt,ru' and ',,phonetic_winkeys'. In your case it will be -variant ',phonetic_winkeys'
