Command modifier weird behavior

[Albert Frischmann]

Hi, I am trying to define my own cyrrilic phonetic keyboard (don't ask, the regular phonetic keyboard relates to English layout, not to German I happen to have as main)

There is a weird thing on some keys (others behave as expected).

When I change those keys without modifier (e.g. to Russian letter), their value with modifier changes as well ( drives me mad with CMD+A), so I cannot achieve Russian A without CMD and latin A with CMD. 

When I change it to Russian, it gets Russian with CMD as well. When I change it to latin under CMD, it gets latin without CMD as well.

Other keys (Q,W,E,R and so on) work as expected.

What am I doing wrong?

It is difficult to reproduce what happened there, but perhaps you may find a solution in my keyboard layouts, 3 are for Cyrillic, perhaps Cyrillic Linguist is what you are looking for.

Hi Albert,

You’re not doing anything wrong!

Most keyboard layouts have a link between the "unshift"-set and the Command Key-set.

The German layout is one of them.

If you start from the standard Russian Phonetic layout and change the "unshift"-set to the German keys you want, you’ll see that the Command Key-set remains the same.

There are ways to create separate sets yourself, but I think the above is the easiest approach.

Hi guys, thank you all for trying to help me.

The solution was: unlink the key, whatever it means. After I unlinked the keys, I could define the value with and without the CMD modifier independently.

You’re right, I had ignored what you wrote: that the behavior was linked for some keys but not for all.

So congratulations and welcome to the club :)
