Disable dot (repeat last command) in non-english layouts in normal mode

This plugin is not intended to manage layouts in Normal mode in such a sophisticated way. It has such an option for Insert mode only. Basically, you can remap . in Normal mode using standard Vim's approach.

@lyokha, idea is to remap it only in case layout is non English. In English layout it is good to have ..

So this feature should depend on xkbswitch.

@petRUShka, making sure that you always have an English layout when getting into Normal mode is one of the purposes of this plugin, so I do not understand exactly the reason of why you want this.

Perhaps, you want

let g:XkbSwitchNLayout = 'us'
let g:XkbSwitchILayout = 'us'

to always enter VIm with us layout. There is also keymap assistance in Normal mode to support commands like r and f. In my .vimrc I have lines

let g:XkbSwitchAssistNKeymap = 1    " for commands r and f
let g:XkbSwitchAssistSKeymap = 1    " for search lines
let g:XkbSwitchDynamicKeymap = 1
let g:XkbSwitchKeymapNames = {'ru' : 'russian-jcukenwin'}

for this.

Anyway, what you want seems to be not feasible to implement, as Vim's maps use symbols rather than keycodes, which means that map . is always the same for any keyboard layout as far as Russian dot is indistinguishable from English dot (meaning that the dot symbol is the same for both layouts).
