Bug Description

Most elementary applications don't support Ctrl+Q shortcut (and possibly other custom shortcuts) on keyboard layouts other than Latin.

For example, I can't quit an app with Ctrl+Q if I have Russian layout active; I have to switch back to English layout and hit the shortcut again. This is very annoying because it makes the shortcut unreliable.

Notably, Swithboard and Scratch do not suffer from this bug. Here's how Switchboard implements the Ctrl+Q shortcut: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elementary-pantheon/switchboard/switchboard/view/head:/src/Switchboard.vala#L106

There has been a duplicate bug report for Audience (I linked some guy's merge request that supposedly fixes it, if anyone can test). So I am marking as confirmed.
