Hints for words with extended (non-English) characters

[lmendez5]

Describe the bug:
The hints aren't appearing with non English symbols. E.g.: cl=cliente show up successful but cl=clienté not. Of course, clienté is not a real word in Spanish, but I just used it as an example I reproduced for reporting you the issue. As well, the hint isn't appear with separated words, for instance, es = El Salvador, and I realized the hint doesn't work because the space between the words.

• I know, I know!! is not a big deal, but I found your Hints feature very useful to remind me about my chords!! (your fault!!! hahaha) so, it is a way to use zipchord more efficiently and more kindly for people who wants to start using it. 😉
• BTW, I did another log file with the last version, I adjust a little the Detection Delay and, till now, is working soooo fine!! congrats!! great job!!!

Thank you. I was aware of the shortcuts that expand to more than one word. Right now, it is by design, but it will be available in the future. (So I am going to categorize this as "enhancement".)

The clienté example is trickier. If the keyboard has a key for "é" (unmodified) and the keys are defined in the "Keyboard and language" section, it gets recognized correctly, and the hint will show up. I tested this on Czech keyboard which has characters such as "č" and "é" as keys (replacing number keys).

If the character "é" needs to be typed with a dead key (and likely when it needs a Shift), then it does not work.

I am going to create a new enhancement issue for the hints for phrases with spaces, and will keep this one for hints for non-English characters (which will be harder to do).
