The characters method from the NSEvent class returns an empty string for dead keys. The fix uses the UCKeyTranslate() method to know a dead key state from the key code and key modifiers on the first step, and dead key state and space key to know the dead key char actual value on the second step.
Thanks, Alexandr.
