BUG Non-QWERTY keyboards type text incorrectly #11

Description

@Jestzer

Describe the bug
If a non-QWERTY keyboard is used and typing action is performed by pressing a button, it types out the text as if a QWERTY keyboard was being used. For example, if you're using an AZERTY keyboard layout, A, Z, Q, W (and probably some others I've forgotten) are swapped.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have your system use a non-QWERTY keyboard. This is most noticeable with a very different layout, such as Dvorak.
  2. Press a button that performs a typing action.
  3. The text is typed out with incorrect characters if they are in a different spot than a QWERTY keyboard.

Additional context
I can use xinput -list in combination with setxkbmap -device <id #> -layout us to workaround this issue, but it would be nice if I didn't have to do this each time I launched the program. I found out about this workaround from this.
