I do not know much about non-english layouts with Latin character set. If they all contain a full set of English letters - move key to new location seems logical. Have no idea what DVORAK layout users think about it. Hotkeys like ctrl+x ctrl+c ctrl+v looks little absurdly, when they scattered on keyboard.
As russian user, i'm using cyrillic character set and expect hot keys use same key regardless of the layout (case 3). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard layout. Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non- latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with english layout. If you use english and two different non-latin layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.
