Super key shortcut overlay not working with umlauts, greek/cyrillic letters

[Hernando Torque]

Binary package hint: unity

I've assigned the value 'ö' to the 'Shortcut' key in '/usr/share/unity/places/files.place' and all I get is an empty overlay box. I also tried greek and cyrillic letters with the same outcome.

That will be a nice bitesize one! support utf-8 on the shortcuts

Pressing Super+key which has 2 codes, depending on the international layout (e.g. Q and Й), should work both with English layout and the international layout.

Still reproducible with Unity 4.20.0-0ubuntu2 (use /usr/share/unity/lenses/files/files.lens to test).

Is that still an issue in Precise?

Not repoducable on Quantal.
Shows "Super + Odiaresis" for "Super Ö"
