QKeySequence does not handle Qt::Key_mu right

XMLWordPrintable

      When using QKeySequence with a µ key, it is replaced by M which is not the same key.
      When entering Ctrl+µ, QKeySequence replace it with Ctrl+M.

      This is on a Belgian keyboard where M and µ key are not the same.
      See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Belgian_keyboard_layout.png

      This is probably caused by this line:
      https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/gui/kernel/qkeysequence.cpp.html#1176

      ret |= accelRef.at(0).toUpper().unicode();

      as QString("µ").toUpper() == "M".

      This can be reproduced with the attached python script findkey.py , which print this on my system:

      $ cat findkey.py 
import PyQt5.QtGui as QtGui

print("New QKeySequence: ", QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+µ").toString(QtGui.QKeySequence.NativeText))
$ python3 findkey.py 
New QKeySequence:  Ctrl+Μ
