Add-ons shorcuts (commands API) does not work on non-english keyboard layout

I have an add-on which listens for "Ctrl+Alt+T" shortcut. It works fine with English (US) keyboard layout, but does not work on the other (Russian in my case). However built-in shortcuts (for example Ctrl+T) do work on Russian layout, so I believe it is a bug.

Hi

If this is an issue with an add-on that you have installed in Firefox, I recommend that you contact the developer directly through the support link in the page that you installed the add-on from.

Add-ons for Firefox are developed and supported by a global community of independent developers.

That is my own add-on, which uses commands API. However it does not allow for non-latin letters in shortcuts: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/commands#key_combinations I think that it would be reasonable for Firefox to fire the event regardless my current layout, just like using built-in shortcuts.

I recommend that you ask about this in the dedicated add-ons developers forum at:
