Keyboard shortcuts are not mapped correctly to different language keyboard

I have a US computer that is running Ubuntu, and a french keyboard. I put the input keyboard setting of Ubuntu to "french". When I type in some text in Matlab, everything works fine, but if I try to use the keyboard shortcuts, the shortcuts are not mapped to my AZERTY french keyboard, but to a QWERTY keyboard.

How can I help Matlab recognise my keyboard in the shortcuts?

One thing to note is that some software tools don’t properly adapt shortcuts to different layouts like AZERTY or QWERTY. Sometimes remapping manually is the only workaround. For testing how the spacebar reacts across layouts and getting a feel for responsiveness, Click Here can be handy. It measures how fast the key registers inputs, which can help identify whether the mismatch comes from the keyboard or the application.

Use preferences options to adjust your keyborad shortcuts, e.g.:

>> preferences

follow: Preferences -> keyboard -> Shortcuts

I could do that but that's more of a workaround. I often switch between english and french keyboards, I'd like to see if there is an automatic solution triggered by the choice of keyboard language in Ubuntu.
