What makes IDLE different from other desktop apps is that is it written in
Python, uses the tkinter wrapping of cross-platform tcl/tk, and allows users to
customize nearly all hotkey shortcuts. But tk only allows Ascii chars, with
modifiers, for hotkeys. This issue would be much easier if IDLE had a fixed
set of bindings, or even a fixed set for each major platform.
Issue 46052 is a duplicate of this. In experiments reported there, using the
Win10 Russian IME, I determined that the event.char for a Ctrl + letter-key
combination is the corresponding Ascii control character, even when switched to
Russian. The difference is that event.keysym is '??' instead of an ascii
letter and event.keysym_num is the unicode ordinal of the russian letter
instead of the ascii letter. So ('c', 99) becomes ('??', 1089). I propose on
#46052 to solve these issues by undoing this change and generating the event
that would have happened in ENG mode.
