Force keyboard to English to use shortcuts on other layouts)

Anki Help
1

Hey there,

Thanks for the great app. Do you know if I can force keyboard to English to use shortcuts on other layouts)? I have a Russian keyboard along with US English one on MacOS and when I use Anki and press E to edit a card for example, it does not work if I happen to have Rus layout on. However, forcing keyboard to English layout (or recognising keys typed in Russian) would let me use shortcuts regardless of layout.

Thanks for your help in advance!

I’m not sure there’s a way this issue can be fixed in Anki, but perhaps you could use an add-on to customize the shortcut keys to something else of your liking.

I think you misunderstood the issue. The issue is not the shortcuts themselves, but the fact the same key is registered as a different key in different layouts. Also, it only affects single key shortcuts, Cmd+Shift+A for example works as intended.
The only other macOS app to have this issue I can think of is Photoshop. MPV and Vivaldi on the other hand work fine with single key shortcuts regardless of the layout.
I don’t know if it will be of any use, but I found this discussion:
