Hotkeys not working on Ubuntu 20.04 when Cyrillic locale is used

[NikitaObukhov]

Summary

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. Install latest Zed version on Ubuntu 20.04 with latest updates
2. Have 2 locales in system, e.g. English and Russian
3. Press ctrl+s when Russian locale is on.

Actual Behavior: file is not saved

Expected Behavior: file is saved

Same problems occurs with all other key bindings.

I tried to set use_layout_keys: true in my settings.json (btw it did not auto-suggest this key).
I also tried use_key_equivalents in keymap.json under all contexts. Did not helped either.

When I open Debug: open key context window, i press ctrl+s when russian locale is on and I see:
ctrl-cyrillic_yeru

I added "ctrl-cyrillic_yeru": "workspace::Save" to my keymap.json and it solved the problem. Maybe I could event generate all key bindings using Zed assistant and this will work. So this bug has a tricky workaround.

Still such nasty bugs may push new users away from this great editor.

That is quite unfortunate indeed. I assume we're getting the Cyrillic key pressed events from the OS so this may be somewhat difficult to fix, but then again there is almost certainly prior art here.

Thanks for reporting!
