Dvorak keyboard shortcuts not respected

Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168929 from 2007-10-02

Summary:

With system keyboard layout set to Dvorak, Inkscape still uses QWERTY-mapped key shortcuts.

Steps to Replicate:

• install the Dvorak layout of your choice
• switch to Dvorak layout
• launch Gedit, test/verify Dvorak is activated and that keyboard shortcuts respect the layout
• launch Inkscape
• add some text (text should respect the Dvorak layout)
• select text and Cut/Copy using the keyboard shortcuts

What happened?

Dvorak layout is no longer respected; Inkscape reverts to QWERTY for mnemonic shortcuts.

Additional Information/Comments:

I have my keymap set to dvorak in Ubuntu, but inkscape (and only inkscape) still uses qwerty-mapped key shortcuts (ie. C-c, C-v work with the qwerty positions). Other applications such as gedit honor the dvorak keymap for their keyboard shortcuts.

Writing into text boxes inside Inkscape honors dvorak -- it's just the keyboard shortcuts that insist on qwerty.
