Webrev attached for review. Mnemonics are currently implemented using the KeyCodeCombination class, which matches against the KeyCode property of a KeyEvent. This limits the usable keys to ASCII, since Glass only supports looking up English keyboards in KeyCode. A mnemonic is better represented by a KeyCharacterCombination, but this class is also implemented using a KeyCode for some reason (not sure if this is a bug). So I copied most of KeyCharacterCombination to an inner class in TextBinding and called it MnemonicKeyCombination. The only difference is that it matches against the "text" property in the KeyEvent instead. It uses String.equalsIgnoreCase() since mnemonics should not be case sensitive.

The problem as I see it is that TextBinding.parseAndSplit() doesn't work in an i18n friendly way. Assigning to Leif for i18n expertise.

This is also the case with any of Cyrillic letters. For example, if the UI language is Russian or Ukrainian - they will not work.
