Comma and dot are in uppercase (!) in Russian layout. How to propose Apple to move it to lower case?

Hello fellows! I would like to make a pproposition to Apple that they would never be aware of otherwise:


Comma and dot are in uppercase (!) in Russian layout. One must press <Shift> + <6> or <Shift> + <7> accordingly to place a comma or dot. No other way possible in Russian layout. Can u imagine that? Imagine that placing a comma takes TWO keys pressed and both hands because one cannot press shift an reach <6> and <7> keys. Yes, its true... (Furthermore! For uknown reasons on the keyboard they are drawn in LOWER case that is not true - one still needs a <Shift> pressed to place it!)


This curse follows Russian keyboard layont from late XIX century from the early typewriters. Engineers followed tradition - Apple provided russian users with ">", <]> and <ъ> in lower case (the last symbol is used 3 times a year by normal person) - but they curse of upper case comma and dot continues!


Deat apple engineers! PLEASE MOVE COMMA AND DOT TO LOWER CASE IN RUSSIAN LAYOUT! I cant take upper case comma anymore! I don't need <]> so much to have a separate key for it! I want dot and comma in lower case! At lease side by side with SHIFT to be able to place it with 1 hand press!!


Love u! Hope to see Russian layout salvation during my liftime!

Understandable. That must certainly be annoying.


Your explanation is very helpful, but to provide that suggestion to Apple use this link:
