JDK-8087486 - [Glass, Linux, Mac, Monocle] KeyCharacterCombination matching for tab and newline is broken
Description
For matching key combinations, we use int Toolkit.getKeyCodeForChar(..) method. This is not sufficient, because some characters can be produced by several key codes. For instance, if user binds a "+" key combination, it should react on both key-pad and num-pad "+" keys. So instead of this method, we need to have int[] getKeyCodesForChar(..) returning all the possible key codes.

Changing from a tweak to a bug - this type seems more appropriate, especially because there is a user-reported bug dependent on it.

There are users complaining (filing bugs) that they cannot specify proper shortcuts in their apps. I'm not sure how important a problem it is.

This would need to first be done in glass and then Quantum could trivially implement the method.
