Maybe we can find some common solution here: if the shortcuts are
alphanumeric, their position on the current keymap is taken. If the
current keymap does not contain those symbols, or the shortcut is not
alphanumeric, their scancode (ie. location on the physical keyboard) is
used instead.
How does that sound?
