Layout change on Ctrl-Down/Up: a way to solve "QWERTY-shortcuts in Dvorak layout"

Question

There are several related questions:

• Is there any way to use QWERTY's keyboard shortcut position while the Dvorak layout is active?
• Dvorak layout with Qwerty hotkeys (Dvorak — Qwerty Ctrl)
• Why do some shortcuts no longer work when using an alternate keyboard layout?
• Why don't shortcut keys change when keyboard layout changes?

But no one gives working solution for me on Ubuntu 14.04.

Is there any way to do this?

• in Russian (or whatever non-Dvorak) layout Ctrl pressed down switches to Dvorak
• when Ctrl is released then layout comes back to Russian

Answer 1

I created some XKB configuration files to enable Dvorak-Qwerty for Ubuntu 14.04 that works as Qwerty when pressed down Control, Alt or Super key.

-Dvorak-Qwerty for Linux- GitHub

and I can customize it for Russian. did you mean that you want to use Dvorak-shortcuts in Russian layout? not Qwerty-shortcuts in Russian?
