Steps to reproduce
I’ve found, that some hotkeys doesn’t work when current keyboard layout is not-latin. The only such hotkey out of the box in obsidian is Alt+L. There are some other hotkeys in third party plugins like Templater and Excalidraw.
The common for all problem hotkeys is that, the hotkey letter is set in lowercase. I’ve try to correct hotkeys in plugins sources to uppercase, and they start to work in non-english layout.
I can rebind such keys by hand or create issues for all affected plugins, but it seems better that Obsidian can convert all alpha keys to UpperCase when registering hotkeys for commands.
I’ve created dataview query to show such bad hotkeys for Templater and Excalidraw only:
| Command | Name | Hotkeys |
|---|---|---|
| editor:toggle-checklist-status | Toggle checkbox status | CMD l |
| obsidian-excalidraw-plugin:insert-link | Excalidraw: Insert link to file | CMD SHIFT k |
| obsidian-excalidraw-plugin:save | Excalidraw: Save (will also update transclusions) | CTRL s |
| templater-obsidian:replace-in-file-templater | Templater: Replace templates in the active file | OPT r |
