Description
Bug description*
Ignore keyboard layout option doesn't work in Firefox (Xorg 1.20.4 session, DWM 6.2 window manager standalone). When system layout is en_US vimium keybindings works, if layout is ru_RU bindings don't work at all. All bindings are default.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Enable en_US and ru_RU layouts with setxkbmap
setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option grp:caps_toggle - Enable option "Ignore keyboard layout" in vimium settings.
- Go to any url (e. g. github.com) and try to use keybindings with ru_RU layout turned on.
Browser and Vimium version
Mozilla Firefox 68.3.0esr
Debian Buster 10.2
Vimium 1.64.6

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with Firefox 68.3.0esr, Vimium 1.64.6, and the provided setxkbmap command, then trace the implementation of the “Ignore keyboard layout” option. Done means Vimium’s default keybindings work while ru_RU is active with that option enabled, without breaking en_US behavior.
