Atom takes over global unicode insertion by using CTRL+SHIFT+U

Forwarding my ticket from: atom/atom#4093
On Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, GNOME, Unity... Maybe Fedora too because it uses GNOME)
Ctrl+Shift+U is a global keyboard command that activates Unicode insertion (even in Atom
Editor.) By taking over a global keyboard command you have removed my ability to insert
Unicode. Please, can the keyboard command be changed? I've already remapped mine
out since I don't need it but...
Sorry about this, had no idea about this feature on Linux.
It's hard to keep up with keyboard commands at all kinds of platforms so no need to be sorry. Things happen! I must thank you though for always handling tickets quickly!
So would ctrl-u without shift be an okay keybinding you think?
Indeed it would be because that's a reserved application command on Linux so I would certainly not mind if you used it, though it might throw off some other people (re: is Atom a text editor or a IDE) because normally Ctrl+u is for kicking on underlining but tbh I wouldn't mind either way, I like Ctrl+U because on Linux it puts the two really close together!
The fix by @lee-dohm will be included in 0.144 which is about to be released.
