Launcher numbers shortcuts badges appear, and does not disappear

proposed-rc r268 (arale, 20160312)

I don't have hardware keyboard connected.

0. screen unlocked (browsing scopes for example)
1. I'm not sure how I did it, but I've made the numbers badges on the launcher to "name" the shortcut (in unity7 we used those [SUPER+(0-9)] and it was displayed like here, so I supose this is it)
2. I don't how to remove it after it was displayer, my launcher icon are not half hidden by those badges

I've rebooted since ("fixed" the issue, but as I don't know how to do the step 1, it's hard to reproduce)

ok. arale (and turbo) inject KEY_META on the hardware key. For convergence, KEY_META now supports the launcher shortcuts etc.

In order to solve this, two steps are needed:

a) add support for KEY_HOME to unity8 which opens the dash (aka goes to home) but does not process further actions like the KEY_META handling is supposed to do.
b) switch all devices with a hardware button to use KEY_HOME instead of KEY_META.

Note: could this bug as same trigger than this bug #1556843 : the phone think the arale's home button is still holded ?

The only way i can actually see this happening from the code is if you do have a keyboard.

Please comment again if you're able to find out how you made those buttons show up

I think this will happen if we receive a Super_L key press event but never a Super_L key release event.

Which would be a lower level bug in arale's input drivers (or mir at most).

This is not such an unlikely scenario. I think I've seen arale's home key miss sending some events in the past.
