Keyboard layout issue: Turkish keyboard . key triggers \frac{}{} shortcut instead of decimal point

[kdemirel]

I found a keyboard-layout-related issue while using MathLive.

In MathLive, the / key is mapped as a shortcut for \frac{}{}. On a Turkish keyboard layout, however, the physical key in the same position produces a . instead of /.

Because of this, when a user tries to type a decimal number such as 2.5, pressing the key for . after 2 is interpreted as if / had been pressed on an English keyboard. As a result, MathLive inserts:

\frac{2}{\placeholder{}}

instead of:

2.5

This seems to happen because the shortcut is tied to the physical key position rather than the actual character produced by the active keyboard layout.

A workaround is to explicitly define a shortcut so that pressing the . key inserts a literal dot. However, this may not be a robust solution, since similar problems could occur with other non-English keyboard layouts where the same physical key produces a different character.

Expected behavior:
When using a Turkish keyboard layout, pressing the key that produces . should insert a decimal point, not trigger the fraction shortcut.

Actual behavior:
Pressing the . key on a Turkish keyboard triggers the / shortcut behavior and inserts \frac{}{}.

Why this matters:
This makes it difficult to enter decimal numbers naturally in locales that use keyboard layouts different from English.

Suggested direction:
It may be better to resolve shortcuts based on the actual input character generated by the active keyboard layout, rather than the physical key position alone.
