It's pretty hard for the shortcuts to be consistent and localized. Especially if you also use different keyboard layouts when you're using different languages...
Even for keys that aren't mnemonic, do you want undo to be ctrl + z or ctrl + the key closest to left shift?

Hence my original comment. I haven't had a problem with different keyboard layouts, since most of the keys that change are on the outer edge, nowhere near where the most common shortcuts are located (then again, I rarely type using QWERTZ).

CTRL+Z, since that's what it's been since time immemorial, even on ISO keyboards. Consistency is king.
