Binary package hint: unity

What I did :

1. install my computer, using azerty (french) keyboard layout 
2. switch my computer to bépoè layout (it is like dvorak, but for french)
3. remove the azerty layout (in the keyboard preferences windows
4. press Ctrl-alt-t
5. press Ctrl-alt-è (è is the key which was the t in the azerty layout)
6. press Super-f
7. press Super-t

What I expected :
at step 4 : unity open the terminal
at step 5 : nothing
at step 6 : unity open the files lens
at step 7 : unity open the trash window

What happened :
at step 4 : nothing
at step 5 : unity open the terminal
at step 6 : unity open the files lens
at step 7 : unity open the trash window
