Greek T is NOT identical to Latin T, they are DISTINCT letters, which only
correspond to each other.
This is not only a valid excuse, but otherwise we were not able to write a
pure greek text containing properly shaped greek T letters.
In other words, the unicode code point of greek T and latin T are luckily
different.
Even "τερματικό" is not identical to "termatiko", there is only a natural
correspondance there.
Hence the correct solution is if Ctrl-Alt-τ works instead of Ctrl-Alt-t.
While it is just a minor amount of difference in terms of the visual shape
of the letters, but an essential difference in terms of unicode code
points of them.
I have no greek keyboard experince, but I am reluctant to think that your
greek layout produces latin-t instead of greek-τ. Hence Ctrl-Alt-τ should
work instead of Ctrl-Alt-t.
I think that all of you have implicitely the following suggestion:
the keyboardlayout should be Alt, Ctrl and Ctrl-Alt dependent
and even if the plain state produces russian or greek letters, the Alt,
Ctrl and Ctrl-Alt layers should be able to remain in US-English layout.
However this would need the redesign of the keyboarlyout config tools, in
order to make the users able to specify the 4 different layers: the plain,
the Alt, the Ctrl and the Ctrl-Alt layers INDEPENDENTLY from each other.
