Fix shortcuts with special keys on non-US layouts on Linux

Dmitry Kazakov requested to merge dkazakov/krita:kazakov/special-shortcuts-linux into master

This MR is basically a call for opinions from people having non-us keyboard layouts.

This patch solidifies the precedence of the us-latin layout key positions over the current user layout. It basically means that if the user's layout swaps the position of Z and Y letters (e.g. the German one), then Ctrl+Y will still work as Ctrl+Z.

I need user's input on that change. Afaict, this bahavior was the default on Windows, but it was not so on Linux before.
