hotkeys like Ctrl+O do not work then russian keyboard layout is selected

Its a wx/gtk problem - with non-latin (in some case even with latin) input ctrl/alt + alpha keypress events are missing. Only working solution I've found is to add main menu with items that have 'shortcuts' - shortcuts triggered without problems with any input language. The only disadvantage is a menu bar itself. So anyone who need to have shortcuts in russian: just do touch ~/.far2l/forcemenu - this will enforce this workaround.

works, thanks!

btw, can menu font be set to minimal size somehow for menu to steal less space?

or, if we show menu anyway, why not to add some useful functions to it (like "copy all window contents as text", or "edit window font typeface/size" for example)

I googled before that and found only that I'm not first who googled that. However I've just noticed that in full screen mode that menu is hidden but works!

Maybe it worths trying to look inside wx code to see how it captures keypresses for menu?

I almost sure now that its GTK's issue cuz reproduction changes with GTK backend: with broadway backend even ctrl+english don't work. Also on Windows WX has no such issue, however those who tried osx may confirm my suspection that there it will also not reproduce.

not sure how to describe this correctly to file an issue into GTK's bug tracker

I've created ticket on wx long time ago: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/17643

Looks like wx 3.1.3 has this issue (almost) fixed. See #642
