bug#49379: 27.1; Shortcuts don't work with Russian layout active on Linux (Ubuntu)

[Petr Losev]

You're right, any keys with modifiers don't work in Russian layout on 
Emacs, but some of them do work on the Terminal in Ubuntu (at least keys 
with <Ctrl>), so I can for example type command on the terminal: "sudo 
apt update", switch to Russian layout then press <Ctrl+A> or <Ctrl+E> to 
move the cursor to the beginning/end of the command. Combinations with 
<Alt> key don't work for me either on the Terminal.
