Number row on Russian Typewriter works unexpectedly

[irigone]

I have "C--" bound to text-scale-decrease. On Russian Typewriter layout, C-2 decreases the text size instead of a digit argument. Not sure if you can fix this. You probably know about it, but there's a way to get the key position instead of the letter. I used the screenkey utility a lot to show key presses which I make. It has a setting that does that (e.g. if I type ф on the keyboard it will show as English "a" on the screen). It also registers the whole number row normally even if you use Russian Typewriter. Even better, it translates Russian to Dvorak as well #20 . Perhaps we could change to that instead, since the project is Xorg-oriented (as far as I can tell)?

Sure, but there's no way to tell whether we want to insert a "ф" character or the pressed key is a part of smth like "C-x a"

Actually, it works on macOS and Windows as well

I totally forgot about these! I told guys in the mailing list about the issue yesterday, hope they'll fix it.
