Notes

• Non-Latin layouts — supported via hardware keycode routing. Ctrl+S still saves even when the active keyboard layout doesn't produce a Latin "S".
• Auto-repeat guard — Holding Ctrl+Z does not rip through history. One press = one undo step. Same for Ctrl+Y.
• Entry / Text fields — When focus is on a text input, the field's native copy/paste/select-all wins; the global shortcuts kick in everywhere else (canvas, palette, tree).
