I use English and Russian keyboard layouts. For every single application I
don't need to care which layout is currently selected for shortcuts, e.g.
Ctrl+S and Ctrl+Ы do the same (S and Ы are on the same physical key). Of
course, in Emacs it doesn't work this way: C-s triggers Isearch, but C-ы
"is undefined".

I know that Emacs reinvents the wheel by providing built-in input methods
(switchable by C-\), which does the remapping. However, it is very
user-unfriendly at least for two reasons:

- it is a different key compared to everything else I use; my normal
"Shift+Shift" way of switching keyboard layouts is already part of
mechanical memory and having to use something else is very inconvenient;

- *all* of my configuration for XKB is of course gone if I try using Emacs
input methods; e.g. special handling of the right Alt key (AltGr), which is
very important to quickly type characters only available on English layout.
