Dvorak keyboard on OSX not supported when doing cut and paste CMD-V, etc

See original GitHub issue

When CMD-C, X, V, A, etc… is pressed while the keyboard is on Dvorak, it does not work as expected but goes back to the original Qwerty Keys

‘C’ for Dvorak maps to Qwerty I key, CMD-C is actually CMD-I ‘V’ for Dvorak maps to Qwerty . key, CMD-V is actually CMD-. ‘X’ for Dvorak maps to Qwerty B key, CMD-X is actually CMD-B

To get it working, CMD-'QWERTY-C' has to be used whilst on Dvorak.

Similar issue here with the German QWERTZ layout. The shortcut for “Undo” should be Cmd+Z, but I have to press Cmd+Y (which would be Cmd+Z on a QWERTY keyboard).

I think the issue is not JavaFX, but rather that RichTextFX binds the undo/redo shortcuts by key code (i. e. physical key) rather than key character:

https://github.com/FXMisc/RichTextFX/blob/567e7e858ea08920895697c74302592fe800c909/richtextfx/src/main/java/org/fxmisc/richtext/GenericStyledAreaBehavior.java#L70-L73

Replacing the uses of Z and Y (which are KeyCode constants) with "Z" and "Y" (strings) should make the key combination dependent on the character instead of the code. The same applies to the other key combinations that involve letters (Cmd+A, +X, +C, +V).
