• Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related
  to the issue you're seeing?

No.

Details

• Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

Git GUI

• What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
  Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
  this will help us understand the issue.

Open Git GUI in repo with some edited files.
Select one of them in Unstaged Changes panel and press CTRL-T.

I could provide screenplay (gif) if it's necessary.

• What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

Stage selected file.

• What actually happened instead?

Nothing.

• If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
  URL to that repository to help us with testing?

Any repo.

This behavior only occurs with non-English keyboard layout.
If I switch my keyboard to English (in language settings) everything works just right.

Okay, this will require a bit of effort on your side just to investigate, as I cannot reproduce the problem here (I tried with a German keyboard and your reported problem does not occur here).

So save this Tcl script under any file name, and run wish <filename>:

set keysym "Press any key...          "
pack [label .l -textvariable keysym -padx 2m -pady 1m]

# Bind an action to any key
bind . <Key> {
    set keysym "You pressed another key (%K)"
}

# Bind an action to Ctrl+T
bind . <Control-Key-t> {
    set keysym "YEP! You pressed Ctrl+%K"
}

I assume you understand what this does, as it is relatively easy to understand.

Then try to hit Ctrl+T and see whether it shows the second message rather than the first. If it does not, you will have to dig in from there, to find out what code path it takes instead.

Good luck!

English keyboard: YEP! You pressed Ctrl+T.
Russian keyboard:

@redmanmale okay, so there you have the problem, and I wish you good luck finding out more about the issue. This is your investigation to drive.
