Shortcuts fails for non-standard layouts

[qurle]

Shortcut reported to fail on Dvvorak keyboard layout.

Reason

Type uses event.code to resolve physical key pressed, ignoring language and case. E.g. KeyS used for downloading note is actually o charecter on Dvorak.

Possible solutions

1. Use event.key to get resolved key. Need handling of languages and case ☹️
2. Use keyboard layouts mapping and resolving.

Example

const LATIN_LAYOUTS = {
  qwerty: { 'KeyQ':'q', 'KeyW':'w', 'KeyE':'e', 'KeyR':'r', 'KeyT':'t', 'KeyY':'y' /* ... */ },
  dvorak: { 'KeyQ':'\'', 'KeyW':',', 'KeyE':'o', 'KeyR':'e', 'KeyT':'u', 'KeyY':'i' /* ... */ },
  colemak: { 'KeyQ':'q', 'KeyW':'w', 'KeyE':'f', 'KeyR':'p', 'KeyT':'g', 'KeyY':'j' /* ... */ }
};

function getLatinCharacter(event, userLayout = 'qwerty') {
  const currentKey = event.key;
  
  // If it's already a standard Latin letter/number, use it directly
  if (/^[a-z0-9]$/i.test(currentKey)) {
    return currentKey.toLowerCase();
  }

  // Fallback: The user is using a non-Latin language (e.g., Cyrillic, Hebrew)
  // Look up what the physical hardware key translates to in the selected Latin layout
  const layoutMap = LATIN_LAYOUTS[userLayout];
  if (layoutMap && layoutMap[event.code]) {
    return layoutMap[event.code];
  }

  // Return fallback if key is a modifier or special character
  return currentKey.toLowerCase();
}

window.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
  const resolvedChar = getLatinCharacter(e, 'dvorak'); 
  
  if ((e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) && resolvedChar === 'o') {
    // This executes accurately across languages for a Dvorak user
    console.log("Dvorak hotkey triggered!"); 
  }
});
