Description
OS Version: Linux (have tested on Windows as well)
VNote Version: 2.7
Symptoms:
Using text editing shortcuts for headings doesn't work with some non-english layouts (I have tested it on Czech (standard QWERTZ) and French layouts).
Pressing Ctrl-2 (3,4..) does nothing. In Czech layout Ctrl-1 increases font size (1 key without modifier is '+' ). In French layout, Ctrl-4 invokes the "Insert image" function (4 key is apostrophe).
I have not been able to use the layout remapping feature to counter this, it behaves the same even if remapping is set.
How to Repro:
Try pressing Ctrl-1 (2,3..) with Czech or French layout in text edit mode.
Thanks for looking into it.

Research direction
Reproduce the shortcut behavior in text edit mode using Czech and French keyboard layouts, starting with the text-edit keyboard shortcut handling entry point. Done means Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, Ctrl-3 and Ctrl-4 trigger the intended heading actions without invoking unrelated commands on those layouts, while remapping still behaves correctly.
