Override the parent keymap of `function-key-map' for the preferred input method to translate input sequences to the default system layout (English), so we can use Emacs bindings while the non-default system layout is active. Usage example: (use-package reverse-im :ensure t :custom (reverse-im-input-methods '("ukrainian-computer")) ; put your input-method(s) here :config (reverse-im-mode t)) or, alternatively, add the library to your `load-path' and (reverse-im-activate "ukrainian-computer") manually
