Entering Shortcuts While in Hebrew Layout - LibreOffice on Ubuntu

[Omer Zak]

I encounter this issue when I edit Hebrew text in Emacs.
An example:
When I hit the keys Ctrl and "S" to start a search in Emacs, the command
is decoded as C-s when in English mode, but as C-ד when in Hebrew mode.

Then it turns out that C-ד is not recognized.  In the case of Emacs, it
probably can be fixed by binding C-ד and other Hebrew key combinations
to the same actions as the corresponding English key combinations.

In browsers, the problem used to exist, but it was fixed long time ago.
I just confirmed that also my E-mail client software handles correctly
Hebrew mode.
