Description
Atom does not recognize custom DVORAK-QWERTY layouts in macOS.
DVORAK-QWERTY is a DVORAK keyboard layout which behaves like a QWERTY when the CMD key is pressed. This is very useful for Dvorak users who don't need to customize hotkeys for each application.
As a result of #12 a workaround has been introduced to handle DVORAK-QWERTY keyboards, but in some cases like mine users want to use not the Apple default DVORAK-QWERTY keyboard but a customized keyboard with dead keys.
The PR #90 has introduced support to customized versions of Apple's DVORAK-QWERTY keyboard but somehow this implementation has been lost.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install a custom DVORAK-QWERTY keyboard layout using these instructions
- Open Atom
- Try to use hotkeys like (CMD+J which is supposed to be translated to CMD+C)
Expected behavior: Atom should proper recognize hotkeys in DVORAK-QWERTY custom layouts
Actual behavior: Atom does not proper recognize hotkeys in DVORAK-QWERTY layouts, instead the hotkeys are translated as a common Dvorak layout.
Reproduces how often: Everytime a hotkey is pressed
