i know. already accounted for it. from illume's code (e_kbd_dict.c right at the
top) ... right now "normalising" is:

   // FIXME: ö -> o, ä -> a, Ó -> o etc. - ie normalise to latin-1
   return tolower(glyph) & 0x7f;

not great... but hey... better than a kick in the head :)

yes. annoying. i would need a nice big table of all the unicode points and what
to map them to. also the issue was to make it fast - as this is done during
searching to match fuzzily - so every char will have this transform done...
multiple time ( i could limit it to once actually - but not in the code right
now).
