Subject: 23.3; Alternative Keyboard Feature/Bug

There is a behavior that is not correct. When I use a different keyboard
than English, say to enter Greek, the key combinations Ctr and Alt do
not work as intented because Ctr-G for example is interpreted as
Ctr-Gamma which does not bring the intended outcome.

I believe it is a reasonable assumption that Ctr and Alt key
combinations in any alternative keyboard should be interpreted as the
corresponding English keyboard ones.
