Keyboard shortcuts on Mac Dvorak layout

A couple basic keyboard shortcuts stopped working for me recently when editing text on Trello; I use the Dvorak layout on Chrome on macOS. 

Before, when I pressed Cmd + the I key (mapped to the letter C in Dvorak), it would copy, as it should. Now it inserts _ on the selected text (italic), as if I'm using a Qwerty keyboard. Same with Cmd + the B key (should be X, cut); now it inserts ** to bold. 

Unfortunately, Cmd + the C key does nothing, while Cmd + the X key (which is mapped to Q in Dvorak) quits Chrome. So I have no way to cut or copy without changing keyboard layouts or using the menu. This behaviour has only changed over the last 1-2 weeks.

This thread seems like a similar issue? Shortcuts with Mac Korean Keyboard

Thanks for the help!

Hi Caleb,

Sorry for the trouble with those shortcuts. This is a known bug and our team is already working on a fix.

We'll have that deployed as soon as it's ready.
