✨ Make keyboard shortcuts layout-independent (#12326)
* Revert "🐛 Fix shortcuts with modifiers on letters and digits (#12292)"

This reverts commit 21ecfb67b70ac2d6f4defb05a543f0fc18d692a2.

* 🐛 Migrate mousetrap to key with sane modifiers

Finish the half-done mousetrap migration from code/keyCode to
key: canonical lowercase tokens on both bind and event sides so
modifiers match again, US-only shift remap and keypress legacy
removed, and AltGr phantom ctrl filtered on Windows.

Record punctuation positionally through getLayoutMap (American
fallback) so Shift+Period stores shift+. on every layout, while
letters and digits stay glyph-based for AZERTY. Drop dead 219
aliases and revert the stray CamelCase escape command.

* ♻️ Rewrite mousetrap as ESM class without behavior changes

Turn the 2012 constructor-plus-prototype shape into a class
with underscore-private methods, const tables and arrow
listeners. Drop dead _belongsTo, fold one-line prevent/stop
helpers into _fireCallback, and let handleKey absorb the old
_handleKey indirection. Public API and matching logic stay
identical; verified by existing tests plus a runtime smoke.

* 🎉 Add node:test suite for mousetrap shortcuts

Cover canonical key normalization, modifiers with AltGr,
bind arrays plus aliases keyup reset overwrite, sequences
with fake timers, and the full stopCallback matrix, all
through isolated instances and synthetic events. Hook the
zero-dependency suite into frontend/scripts/test for CI.

* 🐛 Record shortcuts by glyph instead of position

Drop the getLayoutMap positional layer and the
American fallback: punctuation now records event.key
lowercased, the same token Mousetrap dispatches, so
Shift combos match with and without a layout map.
Keeps the Numpad numN branch both sides share.
Updates the pinned positional tests and adds the
Spanish Shift-plus regression.

* 🐛 Resolve shifted digits to the digit itself

Shift+DigitN now resolves to the digit on every layout, so
shift+0 fires on QWERTY ()) as well as AZERTY (0), like the
old keyCode behavior. Applies in the recorder and Mousetrap;
unshifted digits and numpad are untouched. Also stages the
layout-map suite left untracked.

* 🐛 Cover punctuation defaults with layout twins

Some defaults only fired where their glyph is unshifted (+ dead
on US layouts, shift++ dead outside ES/DE, \ dead where it
needs AltGr). Bind the twin token per layout family and freeze
the display with :show-command. No tooltip or translation
changes.

* ✨ Warn when the keyboard layout API is missing

Shows a warning on the shortcuts settings page in browsers
without navigator.keyboard.getLayoutMap, where Shift with
punctuation may not fire. Uses a synchronous probe, English
and Spanish strings, and documents the layout limitations in
the user guide.

* 🐛 Fix hide-ui twins and qualify layout docs

The ctrl+alt+\ twin could never fire (the AltGr filter drops
Ctrl), so it goes away; alt+º covers Chrome on Spanish
layouts where AltGr+º resolves to º. The user guide now
states which claims need the layout map and which hold
everywhere.

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.

Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.

Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.

Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.

The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.

With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.

Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.

If your organization is scaling and needs extra support, we’re here to help. Talk to us
