I’m Russian, and I do. we have a QЙ WЦ EУ RК TЕ YН  
layout and russian part doesn’t work in kakoune at all. But I don’t need russian layout in Kakoune like at all. So your question might be more specific, like [usage with non-qwerty layouts](https://discuss.kakoune.com/t/kakoune-for-non-qwerty-layouts/403/7).

Some more topics about Alt key [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/kakoune/comments/b2topj/avoiding_alt/), [2](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/436)
