Control-Z working only on English keyboard

[kirillrocks]

Hey!

I am using 4 different languages, but for Control-Z to work, I always have to go back to the English layout. On Russian/Ukrainian/Dutch it is not working.

This is the only tool that has that limitation.

Hi @kirillrocks! Does it mean that when you are on English layout, it works just sometimes or it always works with English layout, but not the other ones mentioned? Asking due to the comment in #5375 (comment)

Could you reproduce the issue on excalidraw.com? Trying out dutch layout on Chrome, MacOS (command + z) and I can't reproduce it.

[kirillrocks]

Hey @Mrazator. Can reproduce on Excalidraw.com.

There is another issue with command+z that sometimes it just losing it's memory (even with manually clicking on redo/undo). But this issue is specific to the language.

I am on Windows10, Chrome(latest version).

@Mrazator, can you try the non-Latin alphabet? Maybe Cyrilic?

[Mrazator]

I could try with non-Latin but not sure if I will be pressing the right keys :) Could you please provide us with explicit repro steps?

Similar to Dutch, switching to Russian layout works as expected for me, with "Z" being in the same position in both. Interestingly Dutch-Belgian has intertchanged "Z" with "W", so it instead closes the tab. I suspect that some combination of pressed keys (i.e. due to switching languages) could lead to refresh (like CTRL+R), but I guess you would notice the tab would close / reload, unless it's some kind of silent refresh.

That is strange, but I work in Linear and ClickUp, and it seems to work there in every language. How can I help you to reproduce the issue?

@kirillrocks in order to identify the issue, we need to separate the "ctrl-z doesn't work on non-english layout" from "undo sometimes doesn't work at all (from UI)".

If you can reproduce the latter, please open up a new issue with steps. Also make sure that your browser isn't being reloaded as @Mrazator suggested could be happening.

As for making the shortcut work on non-english layout, we'll investigate what we can do.
