Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when you set a hotkey for navigation (j/k/etc.) — they are processed as actual letters of the alphabet. This creates problems for users using multiple different languages on their computers. E.g. Latin letter j and Cyrillic letter о are on the same key on the keyboard, but navigation in FreshRSS will work only for the former, when the currently active layout is the Latin-based one.
Use case
Changing the behaviour will allow users not to care about the currently selected language, and they will always be able to navigate in FreshRSS.
Describe the solution you’d like
Rely on event.code for the shortcuts, instead of the event.key as it currently is. E.g. both Latin j and Cyrillic о will trigger an event with code="KeyJ".
