I am using custom keyboard layout (Mac OSX 10.9.5). It have english letters when CapsLock is off and russian, when it turned on. When CL is off, shortcuts work fine, when on - doesn't work at all. On standart layouts (rus and eng) everything fine. My layout works everywhere else just fine (Adobe software, Chrome, Skype, etc.)

Is this any way to solve this?

UPD: A little detail - when shortcut is pressed, menu blinking like it's working, but nothing happens. But when any menu opened, all shortcuts works fine.

HI boombadabum, 

I understand that you are having issues with keyboard shortcuts with a custom keyboard layout.

I also understand that when you press the shortcuts that the menu blinks like it is working, but nothing actually happens.

As a work around, you may be able to map them out with this add onhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fire.../customizable-shortcuts/

Hi, guigs2,

Thanks for your answer!

With this add on, only non-default shortcuts works. For example, if I map New tab with CMD+T, nothing happens, but when it's CMD+E or CMD+W, or else - everything fine.
