Super+2 shortcut gets captured by windows since 23.10 (AZERTY keyboard)

[Etienne]

I have Ubuntu 23.10 with mutter 45.2-0ubuntu3. I have an AZERTY keyboard.

In order to switch to another application, I use Super+num (switch to application number 'num' in my dock).
Since last update (Ubuntu 23.10), when the keyboard is captured by the current window, I cannot move to application 2 with Super+2
Instead, it writes a 'é' (this is the number 2 key on a US English keyboard).
I have the same problem with Super+7 (è in AZERTY keyboard), but all other Super+num works fine.

This behavior occurs only when I am on a window capturing my keyboard.
Example:
- If I am reading a PDF with Evince (keyboard is not captured for writing), everything works perfectly.
- If I am writing something on Firefox/gnome-terminal, keyboards write 'é' whenever I press Super+2, and cannot move to the wanted application.
- On some other applications, everything works fine (Emacs for example, even when keyboard is captured for writing).

I think this bug is related with bug #2035076, and so with mutter.
Indeed, I had the same capitalization problem with the same apps than in this bug (i.e. not working with Firefox and gnome-terminal but working with perfectly with Emacs).

It looks like the Super+Num feature is inherited from vanilla gnome-shell.
