--- Comment #7 from mazaltov <[email protected]> ---
I confirm, it's more specific:

*Some* keys do not work under different keyboard layout(s).

Examples:
the key W is mapped in my keyboard layout to apostroph (')
Pressing Ctrl+W (english keyb) closes current document/workbook)
Pressing Ctrl+' (hebrew keyb)  does nothing. 
They are the same key, physically.

An example for expected behavior:
Pressing Ctrl+C (english keyb) AND pressing Ctrl+ב (hebrew keyb)  both do "COPY
TO CLIPBOARD" (also the same physical key).

This is because Shortcuts are used to *simplify* and *standardize* user's work.
The correct and expected behavior is using the same physical key for the same
action: Shortcut keys use "muscle memory", and accessibility reasons (ctrl+C/ב)
is just easy to press even with one hand.


Interestingly,
When you use Tools > Customize > Keyboard,
to map an action to  "Ctrl+," (control+comma key),
In my computer (Hebrew/English layouts), BOTH Ctrl+, AND ctrl+" ( but same
character in different layouts) will invoke the same action in both cases,
under 2 different physical keys.


The keys that I mapped to work "wrong" are all the keys which in my non-latin
keyboard layout, are not letters; i.e. most punctuations: `/qw[];'\,.<>:";{}
