Setup: I use Ubuntu 18.04 in English, but with "latvian(apostrophe)" keyboard layout/input source. Compiled VYM 2.7.1 with qt5 dev packages, downloaded from sourceforge.

Problem: It is impossible to type text in VYM nodes in Latvian with above setup. By trying to type "'a", "Alt+A" shortcut is triggered and node is inserted. Same for typing "'i", "'u"

Context1: With given keyboard layout typing "'a" ("[apostrophe]a") gives "ā" , which with "regular" "Latvian" layout would require "AltGr+a", which (may be) gets emulated and triggers behavior above.

Context2: Some shorts are possible to workaround openning Title text editor. Which works for 'e, 'a, but not for 'u, which seems to be global shortcut.
