[Bug 1275842] [NEW] Super+num shorcut should accomodate to keymaps where nums are accessed with shift

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04, launcher super+num shorcuts stopped
working when used with my french keymap.

In fact, using the super+numpad works, but using super+num key doesn't.
With french keymap layout, numbers are accessed using the shift key, not directly. Instead, the key for 1 has & as primary value, and 1 when shifted, the key for 2 has é as primary value and 2 as shifted value, etc.

Pressing super+shift+[&1] does not work (I think shift means: open another instance in this case)
Pressing super+[&1] does not work either
Pressing super+[numpad 1] works, but is impracticle and not possible on a laptop keyboard

The point is that this used to work in 13.10: super+[&1] will open
nautilus

Expected behaviour:
super+num key works, even if the shift key is not used.
