I was referred here by Gunnar Hjalmarsson following a question on
askubuntu [1] regarding incorrect layout for hotkeys in at least
intellij idea and vscode.


In both cases, hotkeys seem to be pinned to the layout corresponding to the 
first input source declared in the gnome Language and Region settings. 
For shortcuts ( and for shortcuts only which makes it really painful) the 
layout doesn't change but normal typing is correctly remapped.

I have read through this thread but am still unsure if the issue is 
- in ubuntu/gnome/linux
- in the apps themselves
- in my own configuration

What I observe :
- setup an azerty layout then a qwerty layout (both are latin compatible)
- in azerty text typing and hotkeys behave as expected in vscode and intellij 
- in qwerty text typing behaves correctly but hotkeys are still mapped to the 
physical keys they would be bound to in the azerty layout
- reverse azerty and qwerty in gnome settings
- in qwerty text typing and hotkeys behave as expected in vscode and intellij 
- in azerty text typing behaves correctly but hotkeys are still mapped to the 
physical keys they  
would be bound to in the qwerty layout
  

What I expect : 
- setup an azerty layout then a qwerty layout (both are latin compatible)
- in azerty text typing and hotkeys are bound to azerty keys both in vscode and 
intellij 
- in qwerty text typing and hotkeys are bound to qwerty keys both in vscode and 
intellij
- reverse azerty and qwerty in gnome settings
- in azerty text typing and hotkeys are bound to azerty keys both in vscode and 
intellij 
- in qwerty text typing and hotkeys are bound to qwerty keys both in vscode and 
intellij

I tried various combinations of configurations at various layers to try
and make this work to no avail for now. my latest config state is in the
askubuntu post
